BIOREACTORS/MINILABS

Bioreactor Type-XIV ScienceShell

The Type-XIV ScienceShell is designed to accommodate up to nine test tubes, enabling parallel cultivation of cell or bacterial cultures under microgravity conditions. Its modular tube holder and baseplate provide secure positioning and isolation of each sample, allowing multiple experiments to be conducted simultaneously within a single unit.

Each ScienceShell can be custom-tailored to match specific volume and sample size requirements and is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure flawless integration of biological materials into the experimental container. Optional LEDs and sensors can be integrated to monitor or influence environmental parameters according to the needs of each scientific application.
