The SFR vario V3 is an advanced, non-invasive shake flask reader designed for real-time monitoring of critical parameters such as oxygen (O₂), biomass, pH, and oxygen uptake rate (OUR) during microbial and cell culture processes. Utilizing optical sensor technology, it enables precise and continuous data acquisition without disturbing the culture environment.

SFR vario V3 Shake Flask Reader – Real-Time Monitoring of O₂, Biomass, pH, & OUR

Key Applications: Microbial fermentation, cell culture optimization, bioprocess development, media optimization, and metabolic studies.

Key Features

  • Simultaneous Monitoring: Real-time measurement of O₂, biomass, and either pH or CO₂

  • Non-Invasive Technology: Optical sensors integrated into the flask bottom allow measurements without sampling, reducing contamination risks.

  • Wireless Data Transfer: Bluetooth connectivity facilitates seamless data transmission to PCs or notebooks.

  • Multi-Unit Control: Manage up to four SFR vario units simultaneously using the dedicated software.

  • Versatile Flask Compatibility: Supports various flask sizes (125 mL to 5,000 mL) with or without baffles.

  • Battery-Powered Operation: Equipped with two long-lasting, rechargeable batteries for uninterrupted monitoring.

  • User-Friendly Software: Intuitive interface for data visualization, analysis, and export in multiple formats.
