Matt’s take on this product
Revolutionise your lab with the IO – compact, powerful, and designed to elevate your research to new heights.
Introducing the IO, Solaris’ smallest benchtop fermenter/bioreactor option available in 200 ml and 1000 ml volumes. What sets the IO apart is its ultra-compact design, maximising precious lab space while delivering exceptional performance. Ideal for R&D with expensive media, the IO offers cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality. Experience the IO’s innovative thermoregulation system, powered by a Peltier Cell.
Say goodbye to external water supplies as the IO efficiently heats and cools, simplifying your workflow and utility requirements.

Solaris IO features & benefits
- Single-wall borosilicate glass vessel, with thermoregulation performed through a Peltier Cell (no need for an external chiller/water supply).
- Different configurations available for microbial (aerobic/anaerobic) and cell culture applications, with the choice of Rushton/Marine/Pitched-Blade impellers and fluted/L-shaped sparger.
- Wide range of measurement and control options, including temperature, pH, dO 2 , dCO 2 , redox, antifoam, level, conductivity, weight, cell density (total cells, viable cells).
- Modbus digital sensors reduce background noise and guarantee quick response time.
- Suitable for batch, fed-batch and continuous processes.
- Powerful and accurate (1 RPM) brushless motor.
- Optional integration of up to 4 analog input/output connections, choosing between 0-10 V and 0-20 mA/4-20 mA (e.g. pumps or valves with power supply independent from Solaris electrical cabinet)
- Different gas mixing strategies with up to 5 TMFC and/or solenoid valves.
- Gas out can be optionally integrated with a condenser with Peltier Cell.
