DIAPBR PHOTOBIOREACTORS

photoDiachrom Biotechnology Photobioreactors DIAPBR, is a device that can contain and grow algae, cyanobacteria and other photosynthetic organisms under heterotrophic and mixotrophic conditions.
Our PBR system is a controllable environment in which to grow algae, and where the supply of light, nutrients, carbon dioxide, air, and temperature can be controlled and regulated.

As an algae Photobioreactor is a totally enclosed system and there are several major advantages as the bioreactor can prevent contamination (from other algae species and bugs), and allows easier cultivation of one algae strain. It also offers better control over a range of other growing conditions, like the pH, light, carbon dioxide, and temperature. In addititon to this a closed system reduces evaporative water losses, and has lower carbon dioxide losses which all-in-all means higher cell concentrations.

In other words there are more grams of algae produced per litre of water.

The DIAPBR photobioreactor is suited for research applications such as:
• product optimization
• scale up/scale down studies
• PBR optimization
• continuous cultures
• perfusion systems, etc.

DIAPBR are available in three different configurations:
• Classic bioreactor
• Air Lift
• Flat-vessel
