Monitoring fermentation processes doesn’t have to be complicated. With the fermSYS Cube, you get a compact, all-in-one solution for measuring, controlling and analysing data from shake flask and laboratory fermentations.


The Cube combines all the necessary components in a single device – from the VOC sensor and control software to wireless communication.


All in one device

The fermSYS Cube already contains all the components you need for process monitoring:

  • VOC sensor for online measurement of metabolic activity in exhaust air

  • fermHUB software for measurement, visualisation and control

  • Local ad hoc Wi-Fi for direct access without a network infrastructure

  • Wi-Fi connection for transmitting data to the central fermHUB PRO platform


This means you can get started straight away – without any additional hardware or local software installation.


Three steps to your first measurement

1. Install the sensor: Fit the cube to the exhaust vent of your shaking flask or laboratory fermenter.

2. Connect to the sensor:

Connect any device (a Wi-Fi-enabled laptop, tablet or smartphone) to the Cube via the local ad-hoc Wi-Fi network and open the Cube’s IP address in your web browser.


3. Start the measurement: Start the online measurement and monitor the VOC sensor data in real time.

The fermSYS - Cube displays the measured VOC signals directly in the browser. This gives you immediate insights into metabolic activity, substrate consumption and the progress of the process.


Your benefits at a glance

  • All-in-one solution for measurement and control

  • No local software installation required

  • Browser-based access via PC, tablet or smartphone

  • Plug & Play for additional sensors and actuators

  • Local or cloud-based data storage

  • Ready to use in just a few minutes


Conclusion

With the fermSYS - Cube, you get a ready-to-use solution for the online monitoring of fermentation processes. Installation, data collection and analysis are intuitive and require no additional infrastructure.
