The Phyco-Bubble™ is a compact and highly versatile airlift-column photobioreactor designed to deliver precise control and flexibility for laboratory-scale algal cultivation and experimental setups.
Its aeration-based mixing ensures low mechanical shear, fostering optimal conditions for cultivating sensitive microalgae species while achieving excellent turbulence and mass transfer.
Available in incremental sizes ranging from 3 to 25 litres, the Phyco-Bubble™ can be tailored with advanced LED or Gro-Lux backlighting systems, which are fully customisable to specific photosynthetic requirements.
The Phyco-Bubble is fabricated using durable Schott Duran® borosilicate glass and high-quality PTFE, PVC, aluminium, or stainless-steel connectors. Material selection allows for hygienic and sterilisable features where needed. This includes steam-cleanable and autoclavable fittings, further enhancing the Phyco-Bubble’s suitability for sterility-sensitive projects.
The inclusion of customisable inlet/outlet ports and sensor functions ensures the Phyco-Bubble™ can be tailored to meet the unique requirements of its users. Available equipped with integrated monitoring and control options via Variconnect, the system allows for precise management of key parameters such as pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), and optical density (OD).
Phyco-Bubble™ units can also be configured into multiple systems for parallel testing, enabling efficient comparison of different growth conditions or experimental variables. This advanced level of control and scalability makes the Phyco-Bubble™ ideal for complex experimental workflows, offering researchers and producers a highly adaptable solution for their specific cultivation needs.
