HABITAT research is the smart laboratory bioreactor from IKA. As the first bioreactor with a lid stand, it ensures ergonomic working and a well-organized laboratory.

• 4 peristaltic pumps allow easy tube loading, variable speed, bi-directional and speed feedback control, volume and flowrate control
• Includes user-friendly software with functional modes like batch, fed-batch, perfusion, chaotic mixing, adjustable PID
• New chaotic mixing option ensures a more homogeneous mixture
• Minimal footprint to save working space

To operate HABITAT research, you only need a control unit package and a vessel package. For sensitive cell cultures such as mammalian cells, select the cell variant, with gassing rates from 0 to 2000 cc/min. If you are using HABITAT as a fermenter, we recommend the ferment variant, with gassing rates of 0 to 20000 cc/min. If you decide to use the photobioreactor, the photo version with LED panels is perfect for you. The suffix 'cct' in a package indicates that there are connection options for three additional sensors: turbidity, CO₂ and conductivity. The second step is to complement your control unit package with the vessel package that matches your application and working volume.
