Used Bioreactors in Illinois, USA

Overview

Bioreactors are vessels designed to cultivate cells, microbes, or tissues under carefully controlled conditions for research, development, or production. They range from benchtop fermenters and single‑use systems to large stainless‑steel industrial units, offering regulation of temperature, pH, agitation, aeration and nutrient feed. When buying used, check control systems, material compatibility, validation history, sensor condition and availability of spare parts and documentation.

FAQ

What should I consider when buying a used bioreactor?

Check scale and type (stirred tank, single‑use, packed bed), material (stainless steel vs. single‑use), control hardware/software, sensor condition, validation and calibration records, history of processes run, spare parts availability and regulatory compliance.

How do I ensure a bioreactor is shipped safely?

Fully clean and decontaminate systems, drain fluids, remove or secure fragile components, use custom crating, choose carriers experienced with lab/industrial equipment, insure the shipment and provide proper export/import and sterilization documentation.

What routine maintenance should I expect?

Regular calibration of sensors, inspection and replacement of seals/gaskets and bearings, verification of agitator and motor function, testing CIP/SIP systems, software updates, and documented preventive maintenance per manufacturer recommendations.
