    BP_flex-2

    Automatic modular BioProfile FLEX analyzer designed for rapid analysis of complex cell cultures and biological growth media.

    BioProfile FLEX can include up to five separate modules, allows measurement of the maximum number of parameters in automatic mode, and much more to simplify novabioprofileflexyour workflow, saving time and labor costs, while reducing operating costs

    Application BioProfile FLEX allows you to:

    • Monitoring progress in the bioreactor (fermenter).
    • Determination of consumption and production of the major metabolite
    • Determination of cell growth inhibitors
    • Develop a strategy supply of nutrient media
    • Calibration of the sensors bioreactor
    • Measurement of cellular respiration
    • The balance of electrolytes
    • Control of the concentration of waste in the medium

    Quick analysis

    BioProfile Flex saves 30 minutes per sample, as compared to using several separate analyzers, wasting two minutes on the sample analysis.

    Integrated Data Report

    Optimizes data collection, analysis, archiving in accordance with regulatory requirements.

    Intuitive user interface

    It accelerates and simplifies the work of the operator in comparison with several types of equipment.

    Minimum (1 ml) of the sample volume

    Cell culture and retains the weight fraction of the final product.

    Consolidated workstation

    It saves up to 15-20 square meters of valuable desktop space and allows you to save time on maintenance.

    The modularity, the scalability of the system from the baseline.

    Modular design BioProfile Flex can include from one to four analytical modules plus module is on-line. Core modules BioProfile FLEX analyzer allows measurements up to 15 parameters and cell culture growth medium:

    Additional equipment

    On-Line Sampler (On-Line Autosampling)

    • Additional (optional) automatic online sampler provides connectivity to BioProfile Flex to ten bioreactors. On-line sampler allows you to automatically at a predetermined time schedule, the selection and measurement of samples from bioreactors.
    • Individual analysis with a syringe or tubes can be carried out in periods when work is on-line sampling is not scheduled.

    Storage of samples collection system (Sample Retain Collection System)

    An additional option that allows automatic collection and storage of samples from the bioreactor in a chilled environment for further analysis. sampling system allows the user’s choice to make a fence volume of samples from 1.0 to 50 ml. and store at a temperature of up to 3 C. Samples of storage may be initiated manually or automatically on a planned schedule.

    Advanced OPC standard interface connection

    In BioProfile FLEX integrated external interface standard OPC, allowing connection of any OPC-compliant devices, such as controllers, bioreactors, databases, laboratory information management systems (LIMS), or factory control system.

    Measuring range modules.

    1. Chemical / gas module. It allows you to measure the following tests: Gluc, Lac, Gln, Glu, pH, PCO2 , PO2 , Na+ , K+, Ca++ , NH4+   is measured using a separate set of sensors in the sensor chamber.
    Testes Measurement range Resolution Means
    Clucose 0.2 – 15.0 g/L* 0.01 g/L biosensor
    Lactate 0.2 – 5.0 g/L* 0.01 g/L biosensor
    Glutamine 0.2 – 6.0 mmol/L* 0.01 mmol/L biosensor
    Glutamate 0.2 – 6.0 mmol/L* 0.01 mmol/L biosensor
    Ammonium 0.2 -25.0 mmol/L 0.1 mmol/L Ion-selective sensor
    pH 5.000 – 8.000 0.001 Ion-selective sensor
    PCO2 3.0 – 300.0 mmHg 0.1 mmHg Ion-selective sensor
    PO2 3.0 – 800.0 mmHg 0.1 mmHg Sensor Clark
    Na 40 – 220 mmol/L 1 mmol/L Ion-selective sensor
    K 1.0 – 25.0 mmol/L 0.1 mmol/L Ion-selective sensor
    Ca 0.10 – 10.00 mmol/L 0.01 mmol/L Ion-selective sensor

    Calculated tests: O2 saturation; CO2 saturation; correction for temperature, pH, PCO2, PO2

    2. Osmotic modele

    It measures the concentration of osmotically active substances.

    Osmotic pressure of 0 – 1500 mOsm / kg, 1 mOsm / kg. Freezing point

    3.The unit cell

    With the help of estimated density and cell viability. It uses a well-known and widely used method of staining trypan blue cell

    Test Measurement range Resolution Means
    Diameter of the cell 8 – 40 мкм N/A Digital display
    Measured density 5×10*4 – 1×10*7 клеток/мл N/A Digital display
    Viability 0 – 100%  N/A Digital display

    4.The photometric unit

    Measures the phosphate (PO4) or immunoglobulin G (IgG), depending on the module version. For their measurement using the colorimeter, which measures the rate of biochemical reactions in determining PO4, and to determine the IgG response using “endpoint.”

    Test Measurement range Resolution Means
    Phosphates 0,2 – 25,0 mmol/L 0.1 mmol/L Photometry
    Total protein 0.1 – 2.0 g/L 0.1 g/L Photometry

    5. The module on-line (available as an option):

    It allows sampling automatically on schedule directly from the fermenter
