This a view of a working Fermentation Production Plant Microbiology Laboratory. It shows a technician in the far left background working in a Laminar Flow Hood, a technician in the right background measuring pH and cell density in samples taken from various fermenters in the plant, and the Laboratory Manager arranging and viewing past run records (68, 98, 230, 255).
Pictured is a set of four identical 14 Liter fermenters built by New Brunswick Scientific. They can be used in studies of scale-up, new media formulations, different run parameters, etc. They have temperature, RPM, sparge air, and pH control as well as dissolved oxygen monitoring. The signal output from the controllers is interfaced with a supervisory computer for data storage, analysis, and graphing (68, 136, 230, 258). New Brunswick www.nbsc.com
