Product Overview
-
The BR200 Series combines compact design with advanced automation for efficient bioprocess research and development. With interchangeable vessel volumes ranging from 1 L to 15 L, the system supports both single-vessel and dual-vessel control configurations, which offer flexible scalability for microbial fermentation (BR200-M1/M2) and cell culture (BR200-C1/C2) applications.
-
Integrated MFC gas control, Watson-Marlow peristaltic pumps, and intelligent process control ensure precise and reproducible cultivation, while modular expansion options enable customized configurations to support a wide range of research and process development needs.

Key Features
Next-Generation Interface
Equipped with a 22“ high-resolution capacitive touchscreen, supporting multi-touch gestures, pinch-to-zoom, and glove operation for an intuitive user experience
Versatile Bioprocessing Platform
Supports microbial fermentation, mammalian cell culture, and algae cultivation through flexible configurations of agitation systems, illumination modules, and process control strategies
Precise Gas & Liquid Control
Integrated MFCs enable accurate gas flow measurement and automatic regulation, while Watson-Marlow variable-speed peristaltic pumps ensure precise delivery of acid, base, antifoam, and feed media
Smart Modular Expansion
BR200-EM8 Module supports up to 8 peripheral devices, including sensors, balances, scales, pumps, and off-gas analyzers, providing flexible connectivity for customized bioprocess configurations
Superior Process Control
Powered by Siemens S7-1200 PLC controller with top-tier hardware components including German JUMO Pt100 RTD and Hamilton pH/DO electrodes, delivering highly stable and industrial-grade process control
Flexible Operation Modes
In addition to the touchscreen interface, the system supports operation via a keyboard, mouse, and external monitor, allowing flexible switching according to user preferences
Three Levels of Scalability Architecture
LEVEL 1
Vessel Switching
Interchangeable vessels ranging from 2 L–15 L, allowing easy changeover within a single controller
LEVEL 2
Dual-Vessel Control
The primary control unit supports connection to an additional controller via Ethernet communication, enabling centralized control and synchronized operation between two vessels
LEVEL 3
SCADA 8-Unit Cluster
Optional SCADA integration enables centralized monitoring and management of up to 8 units for parallel operation
