The Build

Sub-€500
Full Automation

I built a fully automated, NDIR-monitored solid-state fermentation bioreactor for under €500 — sealed, insulated, and packed with real-time environmental controls. The kind of precision setup that costs €5,000–€15,000 off the shelf.

That knowledge is now a service. Whether you're launching a mycelium materials startup, developing functional fungi, or prototyping a novel fermentation process — I'll help your team build the same.

Ten Core Capabilities

Every unit I build — and help you build — incorporates this full stack of environmental control features.

Sealed System
Fully hermetic enclosure. No contaminants in, no CO₂ out — unless you want it.
Insulated
Thermal insulation minimises energy loss and stabilises the thermal microenvironment.
Camera Module
Visual monitoring of colonisation progress. Time-lapse capability built in.
CO₂ Controller
NDIR-grade CO₂ sensing and automated ventilation. Real-time ppm readout.
Humidity Control
Closed-loop humidity regulation. Substrate moisture maintained within ±2%.
O₂
O₂ Detection
Oxygen level monitoring to track aerobic activity and detect metabolic stress.
Fresh Air Supply
Filtered air exchange via programmable pumps. HEPA or activated carbon filtration.
Heating
PID-controlled heating element. Maintains set-point temperature ±0.5°C.
Active Cooling
Peltier or fan-assisted cooling for thermophilic or summer-ambient conditions.
Easy to Clean
Smooth internal surfaces, tool-free access panels, and autoclave-compatible components.

I built a fully automated, NDIR-monitored solid-state fermentation bioreactor for <€500.

Not a demo. Not a render. A working, sealed, insulated chamber with:

✅ NDIR CO₂ monitoring + closed-loop control
✅ Humidity regulation (±2%)
✅ Oxygen level detection
✅ Internal camera for visual monitoring
✅ PID heating + active cooling
✅ Filtered fresh air supply
✅ Easy-clean interior

The commercial equivalent? €5,000–€15,000.

I'll help your startup do the same.

If you're building in the mycelium, biotech, or fermentation space and need a monitored prototype without the hardware overhead — let's talk.

Hourly consulting available (€100–€150/hr) on home lab automation, CO₂ sensing, and bioreactor design.

How It Works

From Idea to Reactor

01
Discovery Call
We map your project scope, substrate, organism, and production goals. Free 20-minute intro.
02
System Design
Parts list, sensor stack, wiring diagrams, and controller logic tailored to your budget and use case.
03
Build Support
Live sessions via call or async review during your build. Troubleshooting, calibration, and commissioning.
04
First Run
Protocol handoff, data review, and iteration. You walk away with a system that works — and the knowledge to replicate it.
Get Started

Build It.
Right.

Your bioreactor project deserves real hardware expertise — not a €15,000 catalogue unit. Let's talk.
