CellVessel small family 500 mL supporting accessories
Thermal control of small bioreactors, fermenter, mixers is improved when the thermocouple from the PCS is connected in the higher thermal mass aluminium Heating-Support-Foot (HSF) and not in the limited thermal mass of liquid in the SUB, SUF, SUM. Don’t forget all the conventional PCS are designed for heavy STR and NOT low thermal mass SUBs. Problems are that the limited PID algorithm cannot handle thermal mass far away from the design criteria.
In order to support you around this problem we created the Heating-Support-Foot concept which seek to simulate the higher thermal mass of the low thermal mas SUB, SUF, SUM.
Electrical Heating-Support-Foot for CellVessel 500 ml is available in these versions:
- Electrical for 110 VAC (US NEMA 5-15P connector)
- Electrical for 230 VAC (IEC C14 connector) (adaptors available for any need)
Heating-Support-Foot products include:
- Ground and to be used with ground at end-user site!
- Integrate a thermal protection, which cut of at 55°C and connects again at 35°C. NOT for cultivation purposes – only for your personal protection!
For all Heating-Support-Foot sizes the HSF facilitate several non-invasive integrated thermocouple wells. Drilled holes for OD3 and OD6 mm thermocouples.
1 - Heating-Support-Foot (HSF) for CellVessel SUB size 500 ml vessel based on circulating liquid from an external supply. G-1/4" female thread for various barb, hose adaptations - also Rectus-21 couplings can be mounted. 2 - HSF shown with red Biostat hoses as an example for simultaneous agitation and thermal control. 3 - Perfusion SUB-mini mounted in the HSF.
Some PCS rely on liquid thermal control. The experienced Biostat users do recognize the red hoses! No liquid over-pressure valve is included for the liquid circuit. Max pressure is not higher than 1 Bar during usage.
