Stacking of individual polycarbonate elements and silicone gaskets enables the assembly of a miniature bioreactor featuring control of oxygen, pH as well as access for media exchange or sterile sampling. The modular design enables easy adaption of size and functionality to experimental demands. Besides growth of an E.coli culture, investigations with microbial and enzymatic electrodes are shown, demonstrating the particular qualification of this system for the use in bioelectrochemistry studies.
