B.Braun Biotech Biostat B Fermentation System, Sartorius Fermenter, Fermentor

Description

B.Braun Biotech Biostat B Fermentation System
For sale- a B.Braun Biotech International Biostat B Fermentation System.
I say system because unlike most of the other Biostat B offerings this one would appear to be complete or at least closer to it than all but one other (and that guy is asking K).
It comes with the electronics/control/pump unit, the flow controller I guess it is, the stirrer, and the glass fermentation vessel as pictured.
It would appear to have most if not all of the cables and hoses, but you may have to find some of those elsewhere, I do not guarantee that everything you need is here.
What you see is what you get; if you don’t see it it is NOT included.
UPDATE: PLEASE NOTE that with the exception of the picture of the model/serial number all of the pictures are of a system that has been sold.  I have another just like it but I need to get new pictures AND test it to at least be able to stir.  I will remove this part of the update when I have tested it and new pictures have replaced the old ones.  And I have acquired several Braun Biotech CT Service Units, one of which is shown in the last picture.  IF you pay the Buy It Now price and want one of those i will include it at no additional charge.   Again, only included if you Buy It Now, and I have NO idea if it is actually even related to this system.
That said I have another Biostat B system just like the one shown, and I may opt to switch out the glass reactor for the other one if it looks like the hoses are a better match.
If I do that before it sells I will update the pictures.
After the sale I would only swap them with the buyer’s approval.
It is beyond my experience to try to hook this up completely.
However, I did connect the stirrer motor to the electronics unit, and I was able to turn the stirrer on as well as change the speed setting and AT LEAST that much works.
So I list it as USED because for all I know you can make the appropriate connections and go to work.
But beyond what I have stated and pictured it is untested, sold as is, and NO warranty is offered.
However, IF you pay the asking price and find it has a problem you cannot live with within 14 days of receipt you may return it.
Returns are ONLY allowed on Buy It Now Purchases.
Accepted Best Offers are strictly an as is sale, no returns allowed.
Return would be for a refund of the purchase price, not including shipping costs,
which may be substantial
.
Just so that we are clear on that, this is an item that has not been thoroughly tested.
As such it may work fine or it may have problems, so any purchase entails a certain degree of risk.
If you Buy It Now your risk is limited to the shipping costs both ways.
If you submit an offer you do so knowing that you cannot return it.
In either case it is up to you to decide whether the risk level is acceptable to you, and if not you need to pass on this particular item.

Check back often!
Sold as is, as described, as pictured.
Potential buyers are asked to please make sure you have read the listing carefully, and understand what you are buying.
Ebay’s condition codes for used items, which I am now required to select from, might imply a degree of functionality that my limited time, knowledge, and facilities do not allow me to ascertain.
If the functional condition of the item is known it will be stated as such in the listing.
Unless a warranty is specifically offered returns are not accepted regardless of any implied functionality.
Shipping will be motor freight on a pallet unless you would like to come pick it up.
I would estimate the shipping weight at around 150 pounds.
I would estimate the freight cost for that at between 0 and 0 to the east and west coast respectively.
Residential deliveries, deliveries that require liftgates, deliveries to the boonies, and deliveries to schools or universities will all be more because it takes longer for the carrier to get the job done.
Shipping will be via Old Dominion Freight Lines, which has done a consistently good job getting my shipments where they are going without roughing them up.
I will be happy to quote you for the shipment, but I need to know the zip code, residential or commercial, and whether a lift gate will be required.
If you would prefer to use another carrier that’s fine .
It will be shipping from a warehouse with a loading dock in zip code 23093, but I do not live there!
I require pickup confirmation the day before and your carrier must provide an emailed printable copy of the Bill of Lading so that there is paperwork available for the driver to sign when he gets there.
The BOL should have all the info filled out when I receive it, blank copies are unacceptable.
I can ship this to Canada via Old Dominion, but they do not offer customs brokerage services, so you would need to have your own customs broker lined up before it shipped.
And while I cannot comment on the duties, tariffs, taxes and fees that might be levied, I can say that shipping to the metro areas of eastern Canada is surprisingly affordable.
Yes, I realize this could probably be packaged to ship via fedex, but that would require probably three different boxes and unless it is shipping to a residence probably wouldn’t save a lot of money.
And I don’t know whether the reaction vessel is replaceable or not and I am just not sure I could package it to ensure that it wouldn’t get broken.
If it ships freight it might get bounced around but (theoretically) it will at least remain upright.
If the device being offered here requires a standard modular computer style AC cord I NO LONGER ship those automatically as most people have accumulated a box of them by now.
IF you need such an AC cord please request one when the item is purchased.
