The Story Of Baby The Bioreactor – BioSurplus TV

Baby the Bioreactor at BioSurplus in San Diego, January, 2013.

Baby the Bioreactor at BioSurplus, San Diego, Jan., 2013.

By Anggie Becorest & Grant Goad

35,000

The number of used laboratory instruments we’ve resold at BioSurplus since 2006.

That’s a lot of lab equipment.  And a lot of untold stories of the highs and lows of a fast-paced and fluid industry.

Many times these instruments arrive at our door carrying a name and an identity.  From mass specs and HPLCs to high-throughput automation systems, names such as Big Bird, Miss Piggy, and Popeye have all called BioSurplus home at one time.

As we carefully prepare each instrument for its next life we often wonder about its history and its future; we thought it would be fun (and informative) to tell the stories behind some of these instruments.

This is the story of a New Brunswick Bioflow IV fermentor, AKA “Baby the Bioreactor.”  Baby’s story begins in 1992. Read the full post
