Frequently Asked Questions

How do I size a Phyco-Lift?
Select on the culture volume you need to hold — the range covers 0.07 m³ up to 2.5 m³ — then add modules to scale up, which the design allows with negligible loss of performance.
What is the culture volume and light path of this unit?
This is a single ex-show unit and neither figure is published on the listing; we confirm both on enquiry before quoting.
What condition is it in?
It is an ex-show reactor rather than used production equipment; condition is confirmed on enquiry.
What exactly is included?
The reactor as exhibited. The AlgaeConnect control unit, sensors and lighting are options on this range, so confirm what comes with this unit on enquiry.
Can it be run in both airlift and column mode?
Yes — the reactor operates in either airlift or column mixing configuration.
Is it suitable for shear-sensitive strains?
Yes — both configurations give low shear with high turbulence and high mass transfer.
Can I scale up later?
Yes — the modular design lets you add reactors with negligible drop in performance per module.
