Sustainable innovation through bioreactors
Cultured meat is produced by extracting animal cells and growing them in a culture medium under strictly controlled conditions in the bioreactor. These cells multiply and form muscle tissue, which is then processed into meat products – without the need for animal husbandry or slaughter.
Challenges in organic production
The success of this method depends largely on the precision and stability of the processes in bioreactors. In particular, the control of oxygen content, pH value and CO₂ concentration must be precisely adapted to the growth and volume of the cell cultures. A flexible and reliable gas mixing system is crucial here. The mass flow controllers from Vögtlin Instruments offer a solution for these demanding applications, as they can operate with an exceptionally wide dynamic range of 1:1000, e.g. from 0.1 to 100 ln/min.
The solution from Vögtlin Instruments
Vögtlin Instruments supports the food industry with high-precision mass flowmeters specially developed for use in sensitive bioprocesses. The outstanding features include:
Large turndown range: over 1:100 (application dependent) for maximum flexibility.
Versatile programming: up to 10 different gases can be stored in one device.
Robustness: valves that can withstand high inlet pressure and outlet pressure fluctuations.
Reliable protection: IP67 and NEMA 6 protection
Wide choice in materials: elastomers are available in FKM, EPDM or FFKM.
Vögtlin also offers both stand-alone solutions and OEM systems that can be customised to the requirements of laboratories or production facilities. For maximum user-friendliness, the devices are equipped with a wide range of communication interfaces such as Modbus, Profibus or analogue inputs.
Future-proof technology for a growing industry
With flow ranges up to 1400 ln/min and a variety of customised solutions, Vögtlin Instruments is a reliable partner for cultured meat producers. Our technologies help to optimise processes in bioreactors and promote sustainable, animal-friendly and resource-saving food production.
