BugLab has developed a variety of inexpensive, non-invasive biomass monitors. These include the handheld OD Scanner for shake flasks, and the BE2100, a continuous biomass monitor that is designed for both laboratory-scale and manufacturing-scale fermentations. The BE2100 easily attaches to the outside of a wide array of different fermentor types – from glass cylinders to stainless steel vessels with glass viewing ports. Using an array of infrared lasers and detectors, the BE2100 reads biomass over an ultra-wide linear range. Collecting this data in real-time is a snap with BugFree™ software.
