Bubble Column Array PBR

The MBE Bubble Column Array photobioreactor (BCA-PBR) features fourteen 800 mL glass column reactors, engineered to apply experimental conditions concurrently to multiple different cultures. Its straightforward design ensures operational efficiency, while the reactor volumes are optimized for precise dry weight measurements. An energy-efficient LED system provides a maximum light intensity of 1,600 μmol/m²-s, evenly distributed across the array to ensure consistent illumination and reproducible outcomes. Additionally, an integrated, temperature-controlled water bath accommodates a broad spectrum of culture temperatures from 8°C to 34°C, further enhancing experimental versatility.

The BCA-PBR comes with everything needed to begin cultivation.
