Microbial Fermentation

A Configurable and More Sustainable Fermentation Solution

Increase Your Product Output and Runtime, and Eliminate Supply Chain Challenges

Free your operations from the supply chain, and the constraints of single-use or dedicated fermentation systems. Our configurable industrial fermentation tank is easy to install into your existing framework, and all components are easy to access and maintain.

The robust, highly-reliable design enables you to produce more – and more consistently – with fewer delays and less frequent servicing.

Realize ROI With More Reliable Biotechnology System

Turn batches faster and maintain speed to market with greater flexibility in your production.

Eliminate your reliance on the supply chain for fermentation bags, tubing, probes, and other accessories.
Eliminate risk of bag punctures or malfunction due to potential issues during transport, setup, and use.

Our software is compatible with most distributed control systems like DeltaV and allows for quick and easy configuration to multiple product processes. Adjust mechanical settings, gas flows and agitation speeds to experiment and tailor products to your organization's needs.

Decreasing your reliance on the supply chain and enjoying greater production flexibility allows you to be swift to market, with the added benefit of being more sustainable.

By eliminating the use of single-use fermentation bags, you can adopt a more environmentally-friendly production process without sacrificing speed-to-market.

Ergonomic Biotech Equipment Solutions

Dakota Systems' biotech equipment features ergonomic design for ease of operation, durability in the working environment, and maximum productivity.

Ergonomic Biotech Equipment Operation

Dakota Systems designs and builds biotech equipment with the end user and operators in mind. Our open frame piping skid is laid out to make operation and maintenance easy and all necessary components are easily accessible by the operator. Our customers appreciate the thought and consideration that goes into the experience of owning and using Dakota equipment.

Durable Biotech Equipment

When Dakota designs and builds BioTech equipment we not only consider the users and process, but also the environment in which the equipment will spend its lifetime. Our BioTech equipment is built to withstand everything from seismic activity to loose lab equipment and spills. We seal all electronics and protect vital elements away from exposure to damage from impact and wear.

Ergonomic Biotech Equipment Productivity

Efficiency is one of the primary goals of ergonomics. Our biotech equipment is designed to maximize productivity. The Dakota Lightnin/Flowserve agitators and double mechanical seals are robust and 2-3 years are typical for a maintenance cycle when using Kalrez o’rings. Dakota’s heat blanket for the exhaust filter housing are reliable and much more cost effective than an exhaust condenser. Both of these are standard offerings in addition to our rapid-resterilization design for accelerated turn around and minimum downtime.

Good Manufacturing Practice

Good Manufacturing Practice or GMP (also referred to as ‘cGMP’ or ‘current Good Manufacturing Practice’) is a term that is recognized worldwide for the control and management of manufacturing and quality control testing of foods, pharmaceutical products, and medical devices. These standards remind manufacturers that they must employ technologies and systems which are up-to-date in order to comply with the regulation. Dakota Systems works closely with our clients to insure the latest and most reliable technologies and components having a proven history are installed in our biopharmaceutical process systems. Please contact us for more information regarding our list of technology suppliers.
