Here comes the perfect HABITAT
HABITAT research is the new smart laboratory bioreactor from
IKA. As the first bioreactor with a lid stand, it ensures ergonomic
working and a tidy laboratory. In combination with a circulator,
it is also your fermenter. And if you connect light panels, your new
photobioreactor.
2 | The perfect HABITAT
Looking for new standards in mixing,
temperature control, automation, safety
and design?
BIOREACTOR, FERMENTER OR PHOTOBIOREACTOR
Depending on the type of cells to be cultivated, you can use HABITAT as a bioreactor,
fermenter or photobioreactor. It can be combined with our thermostats or with light
panels. This guarantees a reliable and strong service from a single source.
LID STAND
The lid stand makes test preparation easier as the lid does not have to be removed
and put down. Motor and sensors are hooked onto the side of the stand. This means
that the connections on the lid are easy to reach and the sensors are well protected.
Handling during autoclaving is also much more convenient: Everything together fits
perfectly in the autoclave.
CHAOTIC MIXING
In addition to the familiar agitator control modes, there is a new mixing mode: In
Chaotic Mode, mixing follows the mathematical principle of chaotic-dynamic sys-
tems. This ensures a more homogeneous mixture. You can also choose between 3
different stirrer geometries: 6-blade disc, 3-blades segment and paddle stirrer. Up
to 3 stirrers can be mounted on the stirrer shaft.
Unique features
HABITAT research creates optimal conditions for cell cultivation
and microbial fermentation. Choose between single-walled and
double-walled vessels and volumes from 0.5 to 10 liters.

INDIVIDUAL PID HANDLING
With HABITAT research, you as an admin have PID handling in your own hands and
thus more room to maneuver for scaling growth processes. If you change tempe -
r
ature values, the software simulates the consequences of the change for the pro-
cesses. So you don't have to be a simulation expert yourself.
HEATING SLEEVE OR CIRCULATOR
The temperature control of your bioprocess is carried out with a heating sleeve for
single-walled glass vessels. The mantle of double-walled glass vessels can be precisely
tempered by means of our proven circulators, for example with the HRC 2 combi-
nation circulators for heating and cooling tasks.
2 MOTOR SIZES
HABITAT research is the only bioreactor in its class with a motor size that matches the
volume. With a working volume of up to 2 liters, a smaller motor is installed. This
makes the bioreactor lighter and easier to handle.
GAS MIXING SYSTEM
The supply of air, N 2, O 2 and CO 2 is individually and variably adjustable with our Mass
Flow Controller. This allows you to achieve continuous gas flow and high flow rates
of 0 – 2000 cc/min for cell culture preparations and 0 – 20 000 cc/min for fermen-
tations.
MORE SENSORS
A wide range of commercially available sensors can be connected. In addition to
temperature sensor, pH sensor, DO sensor, foam and level sensor, these include: CO
2
sensor, conductivity sensor and turbidity sensor. No separate hardware is required.
You save costs and benefit from more functionality and more data security.

CALIBRATION SUPPORT
The intelligent calibration management of HABITAT research makes the calibration
of temperature, pH and DO sensors easy. Even inexperienced users can perform
calibrations independently with the step-by-step instructions. Each calibration is
automatically documented.
4 + 1 PUMPS
HABITAT research has 4 integrated peristaltic pumps – e.g. for acid, base, antifoam,
nutrient. There are two running directions. The speed can be variably adjusted via the
set flow rate, which improves dosing. Automatic tube filling adds convenience and
increases reproducibility. All pumps fit tubing from 0.5 to 4.8 mm inner diameter and
can achieve flow rates from 1 to 270 cc/min.
INTUITIVE OPERATION
From the first handling, the detachable tablet and the intuitive operating software
make work easier. Via tablet, smartphone, laptop or PC, test control and data
monitoring can be performed from anywhere. Operation becomes simple, and the
learning curve is short.
MORE AUTOMATION
Central data acquisition takes place in the control unit tower. The hardware settings
belonging to the experiment are also saved automatically. After a power failure,
HABITAT research can restart automatically – if you want it to. You choose the
maximum time without power supply yourself.
5 | HABITAT Unique features
1 | CHOOSE CONTROL UNIT
For the operation of HABITAT research you only need one control unit package and one vessel package. For sensitive cell
cultures such as mammalian cells, select the cell variant of the control unit, with gassing rates of 0 – 2000 cc/min.
If you are using HABITAT as a fermenter, we recommend the ferment variant, with gassing rates of 0 – 20 000 cc/min. If
you decide to use the photobioreactor, the photo version is perfect for you. The addition "cct" in each packa\
ge indicates
there are connection options for 3 additional sensors: turbidity, CO
2 and conductivity.
2 | ADD VESSELS
Now you can complete your control unit package with the matching vessels: In addition to the control unit package, you
order the matching vessel package according to your application and your working volume. And you're ready to go.
