Bench-top Bioreactor
Multifors 2
Manage multiple bioreactor vessels in parallel while mitigating risks during scale-up.
Increase efficiency during process development and characterization by configuring your Multifors® 2 bench-top bioreactor with the same sensor technology as your production bioreactor systems.Advantages
Maximum options while minimizing contamination risks
The magnetic drive system allows for maximum headplate ports and ergonomics while minimizing the contamination risk and wear on components; capable of 1600 RPM operation for extended continuous batches.
Increase productivity and minimize downtime within existing lab space
Save time, space, and resources with optimized parallel bioprocessing, operating up to 6 Multifors® bioreactor vessels from one touchscreen control. With a small footprint and robust housing, you can make the most of your bench space.
Easily scale-up your process
Be prepared to scale-up from the bench using the same sensor technologies as the larger scale bioreactors, delivering comparable data. Optional PAT tools are available to offer a straightforward way of preparing for later production at bench or pilot-scale bioreactors.

Natural Red Dye Production Using Fungal Fermentation in the Minifors 2 Bioreactor
Researchers at Michroma, led by Emilia Maza, investigated the production of natural red dye through fungal fermentation using the INFORS HT Minifors 2 bench-top bioreactor. The team developed a controlled fermentation process using Talaromyces fungi, with eve bioprocess software supporting process monitoring, optimization and data traceability. The results demonstrated reproducible pigment production at bench scale, supporting further development of fermentation-based natural colorants for food and other industrial applications.

NIST CHO Cell Perfusion Cultivation Using the Multifors 3 Bioreactor
Researchers from FHNW University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland explored a 23-day NIST CHO cell perfusion cultivation using the Multifors 3 bench-top bioreactor with the Multifors 3 Perfusion Package. The culture maintained viability consistently above 95% at a perfusion rate of 2 vvd. Multifors 3 controlled the bioreactor-side variables throughout the process, including gravimetric volume and feed control, pH, dissolved oxygen and biomass, with process parameters configured in eve and executed by Multifors 3.

Perfusion Cultivations with ExpiCHO-S Cells Using the Minifors 2 Bioreactor
Perfusion is becoming an increasingly important strategy for intensifying cell culture processes, but developing robust workflows requires precise process control and reliable laboratory-scale data. In this collaborative study from ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences and Levitronix GmbH researchers demonstrate how ultra-high cell density ExpiCHO-S perfusion cultivations were achieved using the Minifors 2 bench-top bioreactor with integrated tangential flow filtration (TFF) and eve bioprocess software, providing practical insights for continuous bioprocess development and N-1 seed train applications.

The difference between batch, fed-batch, and continuous processes
Feeding strategy is one of the most influential variables in any bioprocess. Whether you’re working with bacterial, yeast, fungal, or mammalian cell cultures, how you supply nutrients affects everything from growth rates and yields to oxygen demand and product quality. The choice between batch, fed-batch, and continuous culture depends on your organism, application, and production goals. Fortunately, modern bioreactor systems like those from INFORS HT make it easy to implement any of these strategies at lab or pilot scale.
