Description
The IKA® HABITAT ferment cct is the fermentation control tower for the IKA HABITAT research benchtop bioreactor. It houses the control unit with full connectivity for gas supply, liquid addition, multi-parameter sensors and temperature control, plus a 10.4-inch tablet for operating the bioreactor. The "cct" configuration adds connection options for three further sensors — CO2, conductivity, and turbidity — on top of the standard pH, DO, temperature, level and foam monitoring. Four built-in mass flow controllers (N2, O2, air, CO2) deliver fermentation-range 100–20000 cc/min gassing, and four integrated Watson-Marlow peristaltic pumps handle acid, base, anti-foam and nutrient dosing. The bioprocess software supports batch, fed-batch and perfusion/continuous modes with calibration management, real-time data, and optional FDA 21 CFR Part 11 documentation. PID temperature control works with single-wall vessels (heating blanket) or double-wall vessels (with an IKA thermostat, 5–80 °C). An LED light panel is available separately to upgrade the system to a photobioreactor. Note: the control tower requires a separately available HABITAT vessel package to form a complete, functional bioreactor.
