Bioreactors.net
Latvian engineering and biotechnology firm that designs, manufactures and integrates laboratory, pilot and industrial bioreactors, automation skids and bioprocess software. The organisation undertakes applied research and EU-funded projects on fermentation scale‑up, metabolic-model‑linked control systems, mixing and oxygen transfer, and valorisation of waste streams. The organisation has developed a scalable magnetic coupling agitator concept (levitating/multi-rotor magnetic coupling) intended for laboratory to industrial volumes and compatible with CIP/SIP procedures.
