IKA Bioreactors HABITAT Ferment SW 2

The IKA Bioreactors HABITAT Ferment SW 2 is a 2-liter single-wall glass vessel package developed for fermentation research and microbial cultivation. Designed to meet the demands of biotechnological and pharmaceutical laboratories, this system includes an efficient stirring mechanism, critical sensors, and integrated temperature control through a built-in cooling finger. The vessel is part of the modular IKA HABITAT ferment system and works in conjunction with the separately available HABITAT ferment control tower.

With a robust design and ready-to-use configuration, the HABITAT Ferment SW 2 provides all the necessary components to support successful fermentation processes. It is particularly suitable for temperature-sensitive fermentations when used with an IKA cooling system such as the RC 2 lite.

Features

1. 2-liter single-wall glass vessel for fermentation with integrated cooling finger for efficient internal temperature regulation

2. Small, high-torque stirring motor and 6-blade segment impeller for powerful and uniform mixing

3. Complete sensor suite for real-time monitoring of pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), foam, temperature, and liquid level

4. Ring sparger (0.5 mm) and internal baffle to optimize aeration and fluid dynamics

5. Heating blanket included for additional temperature control flexibility

6. Ready-to-use system compatible with IKA HABITAT ferment control towers and RC 2 lite chillers

Applications

1. Laboratory-scale microbial fermentation in research, biotech, and pharma industries

2. Screening and optimization of microbial strains for product development

3. Enzyme, antibiotic, and biomass production studies

4. Educational use in fermentation and bioprocessing training programs

5. Process development in batch and fed-batch fermentations

6. Pilot-scale fermentation process modeling and validation
