Fermentation Platform
Description
The fermentation platform consists of two solid-state- and four submerged fermentation bioreactors. This allows for simulation of any kind of solid-state and submerged fermentations.
Solid state fermentation bioreactors
Labfors 5 Solids and Enzymatic 3.6 L TV, Infors AG, Switzerland
- May be used for simulation of any kind of solid-state fermentation.
- Enables fermentations with solid substrates and enzymatic bioprocesses.
- Enables aerobic and anaerobic fermentations.
Submerged fermentation bioreactors
Biostat A, Sartorius Stedim Biotech GmbH, Germany
- Each bioreactor enables batch, fed-batch and chemostat fermentations in 2-L scale.
- Enables aerobic and anaerobic fermentations.
- May be used for any kind of submerged fermentation.
- May be used as in vitro colon model for gut microbial fermentation processes.
Options and requirements for use
The running of fermentation experiments is made in collaboration with a superuser of the Fermentation Platform.
Interpretation and analysis of the results are not included in the fee.
At the start of a collaboration on research with the University of Copenhagen, a cooperation agreement must be drawn up. There are different types of agreements depending on the nature of the cooperation. See more here: collaboration.ku.dk/cooperation-agreements/
