APPARATUS FOR ENZYMOLOGY OR MICROBIOLOGY;

Introduced: January 1980

Description

C12M covers equipment and apparatus specifically designed for enzymatic reactions, microbial cultivation, and related biochemical processes. This includes bioreactors, fermentation vessels, cell culture systems, and specialized laboratory apparatus for handling enzymes and microorganisms under controlled conditions. The classification encompasses apparatus for both research and industrial-scale applications, spanning sterile handling equipment, incubation chambers, and monitoring/control systems integral to biochemical operations. Related apparatus for genetic engineering or mutation processes falls within this subclass when the focus is on the physical equipment rather than the methods themselves.
