The careful design of a regulated, efficient, scalable and portable bioreactor system for the analysis of an ever-growing variety of biological and chemical processes is currently of paramount importance for the development of Biotechnology. The existing mutual interaction of the variables involved hinders the optimization of the system and urges the need to embed it with high performance and adaptability against changes in response to different characteristics. In this paper is proposed a validated method for the regulation of the bioreactor’s agitation speed and temperature as well as compound pH by traditional techniques based on ON-OFF, integrators, derivatives and Fuzzy controls. The resulting control system enables its configuration and supervision either locally or remotely with encryption, managing the content stored and exchanged between devices.
