Free shipping on orders over $500 USD!
We've negotiated better rates with our shipping supplier, and are passing those savings on to you. For orders over $500 USD (that's equivalent to two Pioreactors), we'll wave the cost of shipping.
Bulk discounts when you purchase 10 Pioreactors
When you order more than 10 Pioreactors, you'll receive a 5% discount. Even better, this count includes all your previous orders, too! So if you ordered 4 Pioreactors previously, and 6 more today, you'll get the 5% discount on your latest order of 6 Pioreactors.

Our goal is automate more and more for you. We started with a great UI, then added easy-calibrations, and then we built out dosing, LED, and temperature automations. Next, we want to automate your research even while you sleep!

We are so glad to see the enthusiasm around Pioreactor - so much enthusiasm that it's been difficult to secure one! The biggest bottleneck to getting you a Pioreactor has been manufacturing. However, we've been spending more and more time scaling our manufacturing process. Here's what we've been up to:

We are introducing a pre-order system to help you secure your Pioreactor 20ml! We'll also be dropping the 2 Pioreactor / order limit, so you can start to really build out your biotech cluster.

Since there are so many use-cases for the Pioreactor, we didn't want to pigeon-hole the UI to only support a single use-case. By default, the UI works great for simple cultures: yeast, algae, or bacteria, with OD readings, maybe dosing, and maybe LEDs. But users are already extending the Pioreactor to do more: more pumps, and more sensors. This is great - we're ecstatic! But how can users adapt the UI to support their extensions?

The Pioreactor has onboard heating and thermoregulation. This is great for most microbes who enjoy a slightly warmer than room temperature environment. However, sometimes you want a cooler environment. The Pioreactor can't create produce a cool environment, but you can place the Pioreactor in a cold environment and then let the onboard heating heat to a precise temperature.

We think biology products should be accessible. As lifelong biology enthusiasts, we hit a brick wall with other bioreactors on the market. Commercial bioreactors were out of our reach, with high prices and unnecessary features that were actually a liability. Unable to monitor our microbial cultures efficiently, our projects stalled. That's why we created Pioreactor.

We love compactness. We love when things just fit together. We love protocols! We love open source design! Which is why we put all four of these ideas into our new Pioreactor dosing platform.

Directed evolution is the technique of controlling an organism's evolutionary trajectory such that its descendants have more of a desired properties. Most often, the engineers will have a strict control of the organism's environment. By controlling the environment and responding to the organism's simultaneous adaption, an organism can be directed to have novel or desirable properties. In particular, the directed evolution of microorganisms is more easily achieved due to their short generation time, high cell density, and isolated environments.
