Learn more about how it works

Build a cluster of Pioreactors for your cultures.

Horizontally scale your microbiology experiments by connecting together any number of Pioreactors, all controllable from a single interface.

Automate your experiments

Community plugins

Customize and extend your Pioreactor using one of our community-developed plugins. Develop your own plugins and share with others.

Available Plugins

Pumping system

Add and remove media from your bioreactor using Pioreactor’s peristaltic pumps. Activate the pumps manually or on triggers. Calibration is streamlined, too!

Dosing Automations

Built-in automation

Turn your Pioreactor into a turbidostat, chemostat, night/day photo-bioreactor or define your own automation code using our Python API.
