A modern, web-based user interface
Built with a modern tech stack and OS-agnostic. Don't worry about pulling your hair out trying to install some specific driver on your old Window's machine. Just open up your web browser.
• Real-time tracking of culture density and growth rates
• built-in dosing and LED automations
• high throughput data collection and storage
• fine grain control of bioreactors and logging of each action
Control through automation
The Pioreactor software can automate common types of designs: turbidostat, chemostat, and morbidostats. The Pioreactor exposes up to four luer-lock valves for programmable dosing. Even the LEDs are programmable.
From yeast to bacteria to algae
The eight embedded pockets for LEDs allow for simultaneous cell density measurements, visible light exposure, and luminosity measurements. As the photosynthetic culture grows, the software can automatically maintain constant light levels.
Small footprint on your bench; even smaller on your wallet
The Pioreactor's low cost allows you to scale up an experiment, or provide for an entire classroom of students.
Stirring, optical density, & more
Out of the box, the Pioreactor give you immediate insights into your microbial cultures. However, the Pioreactor is also hackable by design. We've exposed excess inputs, outputs, and software APIs to let you experiment with your novel bioreactor ideas.
Powered by RaspberryPi™
The Pioreactor hardware sits atop any WiFi-enabled RaspberryPi™. This gives the Pioreactor great computing flexibility and a platform for you to build on top of.
