The brief

The University seeks to procure a fully automated, laboratory-scale bioreactor system suitable for microbial and mammalian cell culture, capable of parallel operation across multiple vessels with precise control of critical process parameters (including pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, agitation, and gas flow) as a minimum requirement.

The bioreactor system must be autoclavable vessel, with a working volume fall into the range of 50-500 mL, enabling scalable workflows for process development, optimization, and early-stage scale-up.

The solution must include an integrated control workstation for real-time monitoring, data acquisition, and process control, as well as a dedicated offline workstation or software environment for advanced data analysis, process modelling, and high-throughput experimentation.

An automated sampling system (autosampler) suitable for direct integration with the proposed bioreactor system is required.

The autosampler shall enable sterile, reproducible, and programmable sampling of liquid culture during fermentation or bioprocess operations, with minimal operator intervention.

Equipment should be targeted for delivery, installation, and commissioning by the end of June 2026.

At least a comprehensive 2-year warranty package, including preventive maintenance, software updates, and technical support, is required.
