A bench-top bioreactor that knows what matters

The Multifors 3 is INFORS HT’s next-generation bench-top bioreactor platform for bioprocess development across a wide range of applications. It is designed to support flexible process development today while adapting to tomorrow’s workflow requirements, combining comprehensive process control, open communication and scalable configurations in a single platform.

Your process stays consistent, wherever and whoever runs it. Available from Berner Lab in Finland, Sweden and Norway, with local specification, installation and certified service from day one.

Why choose Multifors 3

One platform, from 100 mL to 10 L

Work across the full development range on a single system. INFORS HT glass vessels cover a working volume range of 100 mL to 10 L, so you can move from early screening to larger-scale work without changing platform.

Glass and single-use, your choice

Run glass vessels or single-use vessels on the same platform. Multifors 3 supports single-use vessels from multiple well-known brands, so you can adopt the platform without switching your existing consumables.

Microbial and cell culture

One platform handles both microbial and mammalian processes, with dedicated stirrer and impeller configurations for each: Rushton impellers for demanding microbial fermentation and pitched-blade impellers for gentle cell culture.

Reproducible, integrated control

The same configuration delivers the same result, run after run. Presets, cascades and PID control are managed together, not just as isolated setpoints, for defined, documented and repeatable processes.

Scale up to six vessels

Control up to six vessels from a single operating panel, ideal for efficient parallel operation and process optimisation.

Ready for perfusion

An optional Perfusion Package enables long-term cultivation at high cell densities through continuous medium exchange while retaining cells in the bioreactor.

eve: the intelligence inside Multifors 3

Multifors 3 works seamlessly with eve, INFORS HT’s browser-based bioprocess platform software for planning, execution and analysis. Together they plan, execute and document the complete control strategy for every process, extending far beyond simple setpoint management.

Key benefits of eve

• Centralised bioprocess data and knowledge management
• Integrated planning, monitoring, control and analysis in one platform
• Open connectivity with INFORS HT systems and third-party devices
• Advanced insights through soft-sensors
• Browser-based access with no local installation required
• Flexible software packages tailored to different user needs
• Premium version compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements

Built for reliability

When used with eve, Multifors 3 can continue executing the batch strategy independently, even if the network connection to the SCADA system is interrupted. Process data is buffered locally and automatically synchronised once connectivity is restored, improving reliability and safety during network or power disruptions.

Designed for modern bioprocess development workflows

Enhanced reproducibility

Every aspect of a process, from recipe creation and controller presets to hardware configuration and documentation, is planned, managed and captured end-to-end.

Streamlined technology transfer

The complete control strategy can be transferred across users and laboratories, reducing the time, effort and risk of manually configuring new experiments.

Open and ready to scale

Open interfaces (OPC UA and Ethernet) integrate Multifors 3 into your network and connect it to eve or other bioprocess software.
