Cell culture analyzer BioProfile® FLEX2

controlfreezingpH

BioProfile FLEX2 combines Nova’s groundbreaking MicroSensor™ Card technology with optical measurement and freezing point osmometry for an automated and comprehensive cell culture analyzer that eliminates chemistry sensor maintenance, increases analyzer speed, and reduces sample volume. The full 16 cell culture test menu includes: Gluc, Lac, Gln, Glu, NH4+, Na+, K+, Ca++, pH, PCO2, PO2, total cell density, viable cell density, viability, cell diameter, and osmolality. Compared to the previous generation BioProfile FLEX there is no maintenance for any of the 11 chemistry and gas sensors, sample volume for the full test menu is reduced by 75% to 275 microliters, and testing time is reduced to just 4.5 minutes. Automated sampling from 96-well plates, syringes, or a 24-position external “load-and-go” sample tray provides maximum workflow flexibility and efficiency for cell culture monitoring. Fully Automated Sampling Options FLEX2 Online Autosampler BioProfile FLEX2 is capable of automated online sampling. Nova’s FLEX2 On-Line Autosampler (OLS) provides fully automated sampling from virtually all culture systems from single-use bench scale bioreactors to large production bioreactors. When connected to an OPC-compatible control system, FLEX2 wih OLS provides real-time data transmission for automated sampling, analysis, and feedback control of all measured parameters. The OLS can connect up to 10 vessels and setup time for a full bench of 10-bioreactors can be completed in less than 20 minutes.
