High throughput
parallel bioprocessing.

ABOUT

The Caladan 250 is a high-throughput benchtop bioreactor system designed for rapid strain screening and process optimization. The system offers real-time monitoring, comprehensive sensor control, and high-density data analysis and visualization, all within a user-friendly interface for streamlined experiment design, execution, and analysis.


System
features:

Modular, Flexible Design

Each bioreactor can operate independently or in parallel (up to 24 running on a single host computer), making it simple to expand your throughput. Quick module swapping and easy servicing minimize downtime, alleviate risks of experiment loss, and keep you moving forward.

Fully Integrated Hardware

Fully Integrated Hardware

Includes all critical components and sensors (including integrated off-gas analysis and Peltier temperature control for heating and cooling) alleviating the need to purchase third-party components or integrate extra modules. No messy setups, complicated installation, or hidden costs.

Intuitive Software

Intuitive Software

A powerful yet easy-to-use interface streamlines experiment design, control, and data review. Intuitive conditional control setup for endless DoE options. No steep learning curve.

Advanced Automation and Remote Monitoring

Live camera-based monitoring with foam detection, and real-time analytics dashboards let you run more experiments from the lab or remotely—day, night, and weekends.


Flexible
Tank Options

*Both tanks have flexible configurations for mammalian and microbial applications.

Reusable Tank

Reusable Tank

316 stainless steel tank, safe to autoclave, includes advanced sensor suite.

Single Tank

Single Use Tank

Polycarbonate tank irradiated with all sensors, no assembly required.


User Friendly Software

Recipe Builder


Quickly set up experiments with intuitive controls and conditional logic for every variable. Build repeatable recipes that help you achieve consistent, reliable outcomes – or test a broad range of recipes to find the optimal process.


Continuous Data Monitoring


Stay connected in real time—whether you’re in the lab or remote. Custom charts and real-time vitals let you catch issues early and keep everything on track.


Live Camera View With Foam Detection


Keep an eye on your bioreactor anytime, anywhere with 24/7 remote camera monitoring. Our optical model-based foam detection system alerts you the moment foam is detected, helping you prevent disruptions.
