Project Description

This project focuses on the design, development, and operation of a modular small-scale bioreactor array facility at the Integrated Genome Factory (IGF). The facility is built around Pioreactor-based systems to enable scalable, reproducible, and cost-efficient microbial cultivation for research, method development, and bioprocess optimization.

Project Goals

The Pioreactor Array Facility is designed to:

• Establish a standardized platform for parallel microbial cultivation
• Enable controlled growth experiments with real-time monitoring
• Support method development for strain optimization and bioprocess scaling
• Serve as a training and prototyping environment for bioengineering workflows
• Provide an affordable alternative to conventional benchtop bioreactors
