Q&A: How to harvest algae from our Photobioreactors
Ever wonder how to get the algae out of the PBR?
Industrial plankton Photobioreactors offer flexible harvesting options depending on your needs. Our photobioreactors include a peristaltic pump. On the PBR 1250L for example, this pump can displace between 10 L to 1000 L of algae to anywhere you need. In addition, The Industrial Plankton Photobioreactor features biosecure disconnects and autoclavable silicone lines for contamination prevention.
Alternatively, if you are familiar with overflow continuous bag culture, the bioreactor has a similar option where you can use gravity to distribute the algae.
Simply use the touchscreen control to choose the harvesting method that best aligns with your specific application and workflow.
