New Generation AFM Product Launch
The introduction of the new generation of the Alcohol Fermentation Monitor
at the Fuel Ethanol Workshop in Nashville was a great success.
We like to thank everyone that visted our booth for their time and interest in
this new screening machine for anaerobic yeast fermentations.
Please, do not hesitate to contact us for any further information
or assistance you might require.
We hope to hear from you soon!

The Alcohol Fermentation Monitor (AFM)
The AFM embodies the ideal screening machine for industrial and academic research
on (GM) yeast, potable alcohol and bioethanol.
on (GM) yeast, potable alcohol and bioethanol.
| The AFM is a user-friendly laboratory device for monitoring metabolic activity of six alcoholic fermentations simultaneously. The system is much easier to operate and clean than standard, commercially available fermenter systems. Accurate comparison of conversion rates and yields under different conditions, such as temperature, strain type, carbon source and nutrients can easily be achieved without specialized fermentation skills. The AFM is equipped with very strong magnetic stirrers, able to handle rather viscous media. For each fermenter, stirrer speed and temperature can be set, or time programmed individually. It is fully controlled with user-friendly PC software, using Microsoft Excel® for generating advanced reports containing all measured data, data analysis tables and corresponding graphs. Many renowned, international companies involved in bioethanol research and production already use the AFM to full satisfaction. For details about their experience with the AFM, please view the References in the download section below. |

Typical applications of the AFM
- Monitor conversion rates and yields of lignocellulose hydrolysates into biofuels
- Test and compare different yeast strains or different feed stocks/substrates
- Quality control of yeast strains
- Quality control of traditional feed stocks, such as molasses
- Monitor conversion of wort into beer or grape juice into wine
- Toxicity and alcohol tolerance studies
- Industrial and academic research on yeast and potable alcohol/bioethanol/ biobutanol production
