This is an exciting platform technology for cell cultivation. It is a highly versatile process which permits great increases in cell and product concentrations as compared to Fed Batch processing.

Conductivity sensors measure the ability of a solution to conduct a current. The higher the concentration of ions in the solution, the higher the conductivity, which is measured in microSiemens (mS).

ARC Sensors are the complete solution: innovative premium quality sensors with a robust, direct, and standard interface to the PLC. Hamilton ARC Sensors send a 4-20 mA signal directly to an analog process control system while delivering at the same time the power of digital sensor management.

BalanCD® CHO Feed 1 is a chemically-defined protein-free feed medium designed to provide cell culture nutrients for fed-batch applications in conjunction with BalanCD® CHO Growth A.

The Avanti® J-HC High Capacity Centrifuge provides you with a complete solution for batch bioprocessing. A maximum of 9 Liters can be spun at speeds of 5,000 rpm and 7,480 x g for greater sample throughput. This allows processing of up to 36 Liters per hour when harvesting bacteria. Enhanced operator safety is provided with disposable HarvestLine System Liners.

PreSens offers a new system for measuring oxygen and pH in shake flasks. The SFR – Shake Flask Reader measures rapid and precise in up to 9 shake flasks simultaneously. This novel device is used for microbial cultivations and cell cultures.

SoftGrip pipettes routinely receive the highest user satisfaction score of 10 on 11 different aspects of a pipette, including plunger and eject forces, weight, diameter, and texture.

Storage of pharmaceutical compounds is a function of the storage process and not a specific containment driven requirement per se. This is the case whether you are processing in a contained fashion or performing non-contained processing into open kegs with simple drum liners.
