Key Features & Capabilities
- Programmable Endpoints & Alarms: Users can define process endpoints for concentration, diafiltration, or target filtration volumes. Alarm and pump-stop settings allow the system to automatically pause or stop operations when targets are reached, freeing operators to focus on other tasks.
- High-Precision Metering & Dispensing: Automated metering systems provide accurate volumetric or gravimetric dispensing for chemical and biological applications. Integration with balances or flow sensors allows precise control of solution weight, pH, biomass, or diafiltration targets.
- Automated Bioreactor Maintenance: Lab systems for high-density cell culture enable automated feed, harvest, recirculation, and inoculation. Systems support fully disposable or hybrid flow paths and can maintain bioreactor conditions unattended for hours to months. Features such as pump flow reversals help prevent filter fouling, and automated bolus feeds enhance operational efficiency.
- Comprehensive Data Capture & Documentation: Systems capture and document multiple real-time process parameters, including pressure, flow rate, TMP, filtrate weight, and concentration factors. Integration with software or printers ensures full traceability and supports compliance with regulatory standards.
- Scalable & Configurable: Automated Lab Systems are designed for flexibility, supporting various pump types, flow rates, vessel sizes, and filter configurations. Some systems enable parallel testing of multiple units for statistical validation and enhanced productivity.
- Compact, Mobile, & Cleanroom-Compatible: Designed to fit laboratory and GMP environments, these systems often feature compact footprints, mobile support units, and upright component positioning to minimise air traps and contamination risks.
Benefits
Automated Lab Systems increase efficiency, reduce operator workload, and ensure consistent, reproducible results across filtration, metering, and bioreactor processes. By combining automation, sensing, and flexible design, they support seamless scale-up from laboratory to pilot and GMP manufacturing while maintaining process safety, precision, and compliance.
