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.
