The YSI 2900M Online Monitoring & Control System was launched at Pittcon in Chicago last month.
The 2900M is designed to measure analytes such as glucose, glutamine, glutamate, lactate and many more.
It provides a simple and reliable solution for running bioprocess automatically, with accurate results in less than one minute.
The YSI Sitini Online Sampler can be set up to automatically draw fluids from the bioreactor, delivering samples directly to the 2900 biochemistry analyser for testing.
Sampling is achieved aseptically with no risk of contamination, as lines are flushed and antiseptic is kept in them after each drawing.
When it comes to cleaning, the components of the 2900M system are autoclavable, critical for sterilisation with the bioreactor.
Whether it is in R&D, bioreactor optimisation, scale-up or production, the need for accurate measurement of key analytes is important, but obtaining such measurements in real-time is paramount.
To obtain high product yields in biotech or pharmaceutical applications, the metabolism and health of cell cultures have to be assessed regularly.
There is a crucial need to monitor key nutrients and by-product levels, and to adjust feed rates on the bioreactor accordingly in a quick manner in order to maximise cell growth.
The 2900M system is able to measure, monitor, and control processes accurately, easily, and rapidly in less than one minute due to the YSI innovative biosensor technology.
The 2900M system can also connect to process management instruments via RS232, Ethernet, or Open Connectivity (OPC) to incorporate into existing applications, and the searchable database allows for quick access to stored results.
