Product Information

The BioFlo 320 seamlessly blends beauty and utility in one all-inclusive package. A new industrial design, flexibility between interchangeable autoclavable and single-use vessels, intelligent sensors, Ethernet connectivity, and a new software package are only a few of the features that set it apart from the competition. Extensive options give you the customizable solution your lab requires. Combined with the strict quality standards that all Eppendorf products are held to, the BioFlo 320 truly is the new premium choice in benchtop bioprocess systems.

Small footprint… big impact:
From R&D laboratories to pilot-scale production facilities, space is a major factor when selecting the right equipment. The BioFlo 320 offers flexibility, better control, and maximum functionality while occupying a fraction of the valuable lab space of similar systems. This means greater efficiency and productivity at a lower operating cost for your lab.
