## What is IKA HABITAT?

HABITAT research is the new smart laboratory bioreactor from 
IKA. As the first bioreactor with a lid stand, it ensures ergonomic 
working and a tidy laboratory. In combination with a circulator, 
it is also your fermenter. And if you connect light panels, your new 
photobioreactor.

The app allows the user to easy monitoring and control bioprocess experiments with IKA HABITAT research.
