  • Instrument with 16 electrodes allowing for simultaneous monitoring of pH, redox potential and temperature in parallel batch fermentations.
  • Developed for use in milk-based products but may also be used for plant- and algae-based products.
  • Fills the gap between the Biolector II and larger bioreactor-experiments and will be a medium-throughput system for screening of starter culture candidates and bacteriophage propagation.
