Revolution in food production
Bioreactors and the role of Vögtlin Instruments
( PresseBox ) Muttenz , 27.11.2024 In the near future , bioreactors will have a lasting impact on food production . Especially in the production of cultured meat and plant-based alternatives , these innovative technologies open up completely new perspectives . Just as the introduction of smartphones revolutionised communication , bioreactors could fundamentally transform our view of food production and consumption .
Sustainable innovation through bioreactors
Cultured meat is produced by extracting animal cells and growing them in a culture medium under strictly controlled conditions in the bioreactor . These cells multiply and form muscle tissue , which is then processed into meat products - without the need for animal husbandry or slaughter .
Challenges in organic production
The success of this method depends largely on the precision and stability of the processes in bioreactors . In particular , the control of oxygen content , pH value and CO2 concentration must be precisely adapted to the growth and volume of the cell cultures . A flexible and reliable gas mixing system is crucial here . The mass flow controllers from Vögtlin Instruments offer a solution for these demanding applications , as they can operate with an exceptionally wide dynamic range of 1:1000 , e . g . from 0.1 to 100 ln / min .
Versatile programming : up to 10 different gases can be stored in one device .
Robustness : valves that can withstand high inlet pressure and outlet pressure fluctuations .
Reliable protection : IP67 and NEMA 6 protection
Wide choice in materials : elastomers are available in FKM , EPDM or FFKM .
Vögtlin also offers both standalone solutions and OEM systems that can be customised to the requirements of laboratories or production facilities . For maximum user-friendliness , the devices are equipped with a wide range of communication interfaces such as Modbus , Profibus or analogue inputs .
Future-proof technology for a growing industry
With flow ranges up to 1400 ln / min and a variety of customised solutions , Vögtlin Instruments is a reliable partner for cultured meat producers . Our technologies help to optimise processes in bioreactors and promote sustainable , animalfriendly and resource-saving food production .
