Bioreactors are at the heart of modern Fermentation, microbial cultivation, and cell culture research. As laboratories continue to demand greater flexibility, scalability, and cost efficiency, selecting the right system has become just as important as the experimental process itself. To help researchers and manufacturers meet these evolving requirements, Apex Scientific, a trusted Laboratory Supplier and Distributor of premium Laboratory Equipment in South Africa, is proud to introduce Biostream an innovative manufacturer of laboratory bioreactors, pilot-scale systems, and microbial and cell culture shakers.
Why Bioreactors from Biostream Stand Out
Unlike many traditional systems, Biostream Bioreactors are designed around a modular philosophy. Laboratories only purchase the functionality they require today, while additional features can be added as research programmes expand. Consequently, laboratories benefit from a lower initial capital investment without sacrificing future flexibility.
Another significant advantage is compatibility with existing laboratory hardware. Rather than replacing pumps, sensors, or actuators, Biostream controllers can integrate with many existing components. As a result, laboratories reduce unnecessary expenditure while supporting more sustainable laboratory practices through equipment reuse.
Bioreactors Designed for Research, Scale-Up and Production
Biostream has developed its BOS 3.0 software in collaboration with scientists and users, allowing regular improvements based on real laboratory experience. The same intuitive software platform operates across benchtop, pilot, and production Bioreactors, making operator training straightforward and simplifying technology transfer between different process scales. Furthermore, fermentation protocols can be copied between systems, supporting efficient process scale-up.
The platform also includes configurable user permissions for researchers, technicians, and production staff, helping laboratories improve compliance while reducing the risk of operational errors. Additionally, networked communication between multiple Bioreactors enables coordinated experiments and advanced process control during Fermentation.
Supporting Laboratories Across South Africa
Reliable support is just as important as reliable equipment. Therefore, Biostream provides extensive remote diagnostics and application support, with most service requests resolved without an on-site visit. For technically experienced laboratories, additional service-level training further reduces downtime and operating costs. Meanwhile, organisations planning pilot plants benefit from Biostream’s integrated engineering and application expertise, offering a complete solution from concept through implementation.
Whether your laboratory focuses on microbial cultivation, fungi, algae, mammalian cell culture, or industrial Fermentation, Biostream provides flexible solutions that can grow alongside your research and production requirements.
