The new system consists primarily of a specially
designed flask with two inlets, one for gas (air)
supply and one for medium supply. There is also a combined outlet port on the side of the flask for the exhaust gas and the fermentation broth. The circular motion of the fermenter on a shaker,causes the fermentation broth to reach the outlet port and leave the glass flask. The small scale and simple handling makes it possible to operate many shaking bioreactor vessels simultaneously.
