( An adv...)Optimizing Your Benchscale Fermentation Process

An advanced new benchtop fermentor and cell culture bioreactor system has been developed, which for the first time enables you to optimize process control by integrating data from up to 11 external devices*. This means that data from your scales, gas analyzers, supplementary pumps, cell mass sensors, and so on, can be directly added and cascaded with existing control loops. You can then calibrate those devices through the fermentors advanced touchscreen interface, as well as set alarms based on their data, and view the entire process in trend graphs. In the past, only large-scale fermentors or bioreactors with advanced control systems were capable of what can now be achieved on the benchscale.

The BioFlo 310 from New Brunswick Scientific is designed for high-yield production of a wide range of microbial organisms as well as mammalian, insect, and plant cells. Its advanced controller can regulate up to 32 parameters per vessel, in one to four fermentors simultaneously more than 120 process parameters total for all four vessels. Therefore, it is ideally suited for research and process development laboratories performing media formulation, screening, as well as optimization studies, and for use as a production-scale system.

INTEGRATED PROCESS CONTROL
Imagine:
Automating glucose addition based on real-time data from your exhaust gas analyzer
Automating changes to your gas supplementation strategy using pH, DO, turbidity, and redox readings or those from an off-gas or dissolved-gas analysis.

The BioFlo 310 can handle it all. There are seven analog input and seven analog output ports for adding ancillary devices such as an optical density probe, gas analyzer, cell mass sensor, multiple thermal mass flow contr
