III. Product Principle

This product is an artificial-intelligence–controlled bioreactor. It employs AI-based control algorithms, coupled with online gas and liquid monitoring technologies, to continuously simulate the microbial growth environment. Based on real-time measurements of gas and liquid parameters, the system dynamically adjusts key cultivation conditions—including temperature, dissolved oxygen, and agitation speed—to optimize microbial growth, all without any manual intervention throughout the entire process. This highly efficient, precise, and intelligent bioreactor operates continuously, ensuring sustained microbial proliferation and growth within the reactor and thereby meeting the diverse cell and microbial culture needs of different users.
