KLF

KLF is the only in situ sterilisable bench-top bioreactor made of glass available on the market.

It is impressive due to its ease of operation and the many combinations and possibilities of extension. The construction of this fermentor has proved satisfactory over many years and is designed such that it can be converted even without Tools. How nice that this is so easy.
