Electrolab Laboratory Fermenters
Electrolab Limited have supplied laboratory fermenters
to Pfizer over a period of the last 12 years. To date
we have a total of 130 5 Litre fermenters in our laboratories
plus a further 24 vessels in our Central Research facility
on site in Sandwich.
These fermenters are in regular, routine use for fermentation
process development and culture screening, using industrial
media with temperature, pH, DOT and agitation control.
They are operated for extended periods, often for as long
as 25 days continuously, and turn around time/wash up
periods between experimental runs are kept to a minimum.
The vessels are used very intensively.
The fermenters themselves have proven reliability and,
with regular maintenance (as recommended by Electrolab)
mechanical failures have been kept to a minimum. The age
of the Electrolab fermenters which we have installed ranges
from one to 12 years. The reliability of the 12 year old
vessels is still extremely good.
Based on our good experience with this equipment in England,
we have installed Electrolab fermenters in several other
Pfizer locations around the world where they are giving
good, reliable service.
We have always found Electrolab to be a good company to
deal with; their approach is flexible and they have been
keen to supply, and build, equipment specific to meet
our needs and requirements.
