Applikon 20 L Single Walled Bioreactor and Agitator P1000 for EZ-Control System

Applikon Z5100P1000 20 L Single-Wall Bioreactor Vessel and P1000 Agitator Assembly is a pilot-scale benchtop bioprocess culture system engineered for high-performance microbial fermentation and cell culture workflows. The assembly integrates a heavy-duty single-walled borosilicate glass dish-bottom vessel supported by a stainless steel support framework, a multi-port configurable headplate, and a direct-drive P1000 overhead stirrer motor designed for precise, low-shear to high-power dynamic fluid agitation.

• MPN / Catalog Model: Z5100P1000 (comprising 20 L unjacketed autoclavable glass vessel, configurable stainless steel headplate assembly, support frame, and P1000 overhead agitator motor).
• Manufacturer & Line: Applikon Biotechnology (Getinge Group); manufactured in the Netherlands.
• Quantity & Packaging / Form Factor: Single integrated benchtop bioreactor vessel station; features a dish-bottom cylindrical profile set within an open-access 316L stainless steel support stand with integral handles for transport and autoclaving.
• Material Construction / Metallurgy: Type 1, Class A high-purity borosilicate glass vessel for superior thermal shock resistance and optical clarity; wetted headplate components, drive shaft, and structural hardware machined from electro-polished 316L stainless steel; sealing interfaces utilize USP Class VI compliant ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) or fluoroelastomer (FKM/Viton) O-rings.
• Technical Specifications & Tolerances: Total vessel volume of 20.0 L (working volume range: ~4.0 L to 15.0 L depending on aeration and foaming limits); P1000 overhead motor operational speed range of 0 to 1,000 RPM; maximum continuous torque output of 3.0 Nm; design rating suitable for standard full-autoclave cycles (121 °C at 1.1 bar / 15 psi).
• Hardware & System Compatibility: Agitator motor equipped with built-in alignment connection studs and mechanical drive coupling for direct engagement with Applikon top-stirrer bearing assemblies; natively compatible with Applikon EZ-Control, BioConsole, and my-Control automation modules, as well as third-party DC motor drive control architectures via standard motor interface cabling.
• Standards, Cleanliness & Purity: Built to ASME BPE engineering guidelines; product-contact elastomers meet USP Class VI specifications; fully autoclavable and resistant to routine CIP/SIP sanitization cycles and caustic wash protocols.
• Primary Application: Pilot-scale microbial fermentation (e.g., E. coli, yeast), high-density mammalian and insect cell culture, process scale-up/scale-down modeling, recombinant protein production, and vaccine development.
