Benchtop Solutions

Solaris benchtop fermenters and bioreactors are perfect for applications where the emphasis is on product development or R&D.

The systems are designed to be quite straightforward and user-friendly, while offering users an extremely flexible platform with a wide variety of options.

Main features:

• Compact and user-friendly designs
• Integration of proven technology with state-of-the-art components
• Powerful & intuitive parallel software platform
• Up to date and open communication protocols
• Easily scalable to pilot and industrial platforms
• Available in autoclave, single use and/or SIP vessel platforms, as well as fully customisable systems for your application.

What is the Right Benchtop Bioreactor or Fermenter for Me?

IO: the smallest scale Solaris platform, offers 200 ml and 1000 ml total volume autoclavable vessel sizes. The system utilizes innovative Leonardo software, capable of managing up to 24 systems in parallel.

JUPITER: configurable system, available in multiple autoclavable vessel sizes and designs from 2 up to 10 L total volume, with various aspect ratios and thermoregulation designs. Available both jacketed and single-wall.

VENUS: provides the additional capability of Pressure Control. Utilizing pressure control at the benchtop scale allows this parameter to be studied and better optimized, aiding considerations to gas mass transfer management when scaling up.

ELARA ST & FLAT: photobioreactor series ideal for phototrophic organisms such as moss, microalgae, bacteria and plant cells. In the ELARA FLAT, the flat design allows much better light intensity control by utilizing a unidirectional light source and receiver. For both systems, the light intensity is dimmable from 0-100% up to 3000 µmol(photon)/m².

GENESIS: offers a transitional system for scaling from benchtop to SIP systems. Available in sizes from 7.5 to 20 L total volume. Sterilization can be achieved via steam or alternatively by electric heaters. It is the ideal partner for microbial fermentation as well as animal, plant and insect cell cultivation.

BlackBox: versatile and powerful platform for single use systems. With multiple configurations available for various process sensor outputs, thermoregulation and agitator connectivity, etc.

BlackJar: configurable and customizable pre-sterilized single use ridged wall bioreactors and fermenters. Offers standard and customizable fermentation and cell culture configurations. BlackBox and BlackJar are compatible with any SU platform but offer the most versatility in conjunction with each other.

Industrial Solutions

Solaris also offers pilot and industrial scale solutions, designed to simplify the challenges that scaling up can bring to your company.

These are available as “standard” systems, that can be fully customisable to your requirements, by adding different components and built to work within a broad range of applications.

In addition to this, these systems offer continuity from smaller scale platforms.

The pilot and scale solutions are designed for in situ sterilization, configured to the application, and then managed automatically through the controlling software. Full cGMP validation and supporting documentation packages are available and specified per each application’s regulatory needs.

Main Features:

• Customized vessels design
• Associated skids
• Impeller configurations
• Communication and connectivity protocols
• Up to 30.000 L vessel capacity and beyond
• Tailored, tunkey pilot and industrial scale systems

What is the Right Industrial Bioreactor or Fermenter for Me?

M SERIES: “standard” pilot plant scale platforms. There are 6 available standard vessel sizes ranging from 30 up to 200 L total volumes, completely configurable with an extensive range of options and accessories.

S / I SERIES: offer tremendous flexibility within pilot-production scale fermenter and bioreactor systems. Each S/I Series project is tailor-made for the complexities associated with each application, with up to 30,000 L vessels and more.
