IKA HABITAT Photo Cell
The IKA HABITAT photo cell expands the HABITAT line into a photobioreactor control system, combining full environmental control with integrated LED lighting for cultivation of photosynthetic organisms. It ensures precise regulation of gas, nutrients, temperature, mixing and light, ideal for algae, cyanobacteria or other light‑dependent bioprocesses.
Product Code: 0010007553
• Integrated dual LED light panels for phototrophic cultivation, enabling controlled light exposure and programmable day/night cycles.
• Same 4‑gas mass flow controllers (N₂, O₂, air, CO₂) for configurable gassing, suitable for photobioreactor requirements.
• Four Watson‑Marlow peristaltic pumps for nutrient, acid/base, anti‑foam or feeding solution delivery, offering flexible liquid handling.
• Sensors for pH, DO, temperature, filling level and foam; optional sensors (e.g. CO₂, conductivity, turbidity, viability) supported for advanced monitoring.
• PID temperature control with heating blanket (single‑wall vessels) or thermostat/circulator (double‑wall vessels), ensuring stable thermal conditions independent of ambient fluctuations.
• Chaotic Mixing mode for uniform mixing and gas transfer, even under varying culture conditions.
• 10.4‑inch touchscreen tablet interface for intuitive operation, with software supporting batch, fed‑batch or continuous operation, monitoring, data logging, and calibration management.
• Compact benchtop design suitable for laboratory-scale photobioreactor setups.
