ez2-Control bundle
Our Applikon BioBundles are complete bioreactor systems with everything you need for successful cultivation.
The turnkey solutions consisting of a controller and a bioreactor include silicone tubing, sample bottles, a spares kit, and Applikon’s data acquisition software, Lucullus Lite.
The bioreactors come in a wide range of volumes: 2L, 3L, 5L, 7L, 15L, and 20L, and they are perfect for cell and microbial cultures. The control system for these small-scale bioreactors is the Applikon ez2-Control.
Customize your bioreactor system with one or more of our add-on packs.
