Additional Information: Large Bellco Biotechnology USA 36-liter borosilicate glass overhead drive vessel, manufactured for laboratory cell culture, fermentation and bioprocess applications. 

The vessel features a large threaded center opening surrounded by six vertical threaded sidearm ports, allowing the attachment of an overhead-drive assembly, probes, tubing, gas lines, sampling equipment and other laboratory fittings. Graduated capacity markings run from approximately 9 to 36 liters.

This vessel appears to correspond with Bellco’s 36-liter six-sidearm overhead drive vessel, commonly identified as catalog model 1964-36000, although no separate catalog or serial label is present to independently confirm the exact model number.

Made by Bellco in Vineland, New Jersey, USA, likely during the late 20th or early 21st century. Exact production date is unknown.

Approximate measurements:

• 21 inches tall
• 51½-inch circumference
• Approximately 16¼–16½ inches in diameter
• 36-liter capacity

Includes the glass vessel only. No caps, motor, drive assembly, shaft, impeller, probes, tubing or other accessories are included.

Used laboratory condition with surface scratches, cloudy areas, and general handling wear. No major break is visible, but the vessel has not been pressure tested, vacuum tested. Prior laboratory use and contamination history are unknown.

Because of its size, weight and multiple projecting glass necks, local pickup is strongly recommended.
