iCinac Wireless L.A.B. Fermentation Monitor
Product Overview
Acidification Analyzers
Analysis of Lactic Acid Bacteria (L.A.B.)
iCinac Wireless is a fully integrated system to monitor Lactic Acid Bacteria fermentation kinetics that allows for a complete modular build and design.
iCinac Wireless permits running different kinetics fermentation experiments for Lactic Acid Bacteria via its pH/Temp and pH/ORP/Temp electrodes. iCinac electrodes communicate wirelessly with the iCinac Wireless receiver using transmitters. iCinac Wireless allows for a completely modular product build and can be expanded when desired with the acquisition of new transmitters and electrodes.
iCinac Wireless is an alternative for laboratories that want to perform L.A.B. kinetics monitoring without the bioreactor control part that the iCinac wired offers. iCinac Wireless allows operators the possibility to reduce the number of cables in their experimental area, reducing their overall experiment and design area footprint.

- Easy-to-use software – results in real-time automatic configuration and detection of connected module
Benefits
- Ensures inter-batch kinetics consistency in compliance with ISO standards
- Reduces product development timelines because of the reactor-scale, efficient design and your choice of ferment
- Allows you to adapt the configuration to your needs (current and future)
- Wired or wireless version (or combined); select the number of channels, the number of electrodes, and subsequently add or remove electrodes from the systems
- Improves quality control, R&D, product development and process optimization

Learn MoreApplications
The iCinac Series is used in many industries, and monitors the acidification activity of ferments and control of L.A.B. fermentation reactors in:
- Dairy
- Fermented foods (L.A.B.)
- Probiotics
- Ferment and bacterial culture production
The iCinac is also a useful tool in R&D, product and process development and quality control to:
- Find the most efficient starter for manufacturing needs
- Check batch consistency of the starter
- Determine the acid forming characteristics specific to the phylum studied
- Provide the insight needed for precise development, test, and process control of fermentation ingredients
- Define and control the appropriate inocula by characterizing the acid formation of a specific phylum and knowing the specific test parameters’ influence

Learn MoreHow It Works
The Lactic Acid Bacteria
Lactic Acid Bacteria (L.A.B.) produce Lactic Acid as the major metabolic end-product of their fermentation. L.A.B. contributes to the flavor, texture, and nutritional value of fermented foods through the production of aroma components. L.A.B. is also used as adjunct cultures, production or degradation of exopolysaccharides, lipids, and proteins, production of nutritional components such as vitamins, and used as functional cultures. L.A.B. promotes therapeutic effects and is used for probiotics. In addition, L.A.B. contributes to the inhibition of spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms and, thus, is used as bio-protective cultures.
The iCinac Operations
The iCinac, when used as a L.A.B. activity and kinetics monitoring system, works by measuring the pH and temperature in each reactor cell and this is represented as a pH vs. time, Temperature vs. Time, and ORP vs. Time series of graphs. Users can then:
- Compare the curve (kinetics) to defined Gold Standard or specific kinetics to see if the tested batch behaves as expected – a quality control step, in compliance with ISO26323
- Analyze new ferment strains kinetics and behavior under specific conditions
- Develop inter-comparison studies between batches, strains, external conditions, and more
A Simple Test, Without Much Preparation
Experiments can be easily set up for iCinac Wireless:
- Turn on the iCinac Wireless
- Connect all required transmitters and electrodes
- Perform the calibration of all electrodes (pH calibration should be run before each experiment as per the defined protocol)
- Insert the electrode in the dedicated bioreactor and adjust the bioreactor conditions
- Start the iCinac Wireless experiment and initiate to obtain real-time data via the built-in PC
- Analyze your data at the end of the experiment

By programming a thermal cycle, users can reproduce or simulate the changes in process conditions (e.g., variations in temperature or pH) and use the graphs or descriptors to compare the potential effects on the phylum studied.
Each channel is shown in an independent window.

The iCinac software can perform complex multivariate analyses of the trial curves in order to extract key characteristics of the curve associated with the kinetics of the fermentation. Feature points are useful in comparing the effects of variations in standard conditions on the overall acidification kinetics. Most common feature points for the determination of acidification activity are automatically programmed within the software, but a variety of feature points are user-customizable in order to automatically extract the most useful data from the specific fermentation curves being analyzed.
