The BIOSTAT A has a control tower featuring an array of measurement and control functions such as easy-load peristaltic pumps, an aeration module and accessible probe ports and supply connections.
Sartorius says the new aeration system provides automatic control of all gas lines with continuous gas flows removing the need for manual adjustment of rotameters.
For cell culture applications, aeration with four gases (air, O2, CO2 and N2) is possible for controlling pH and DO. The microbial version allows aeration with two gases (air and O2).
The new bioreactor is equipped with digital pH and DO probes designed to help users gauge when a probe can be used for the next cultivation process.
The user interface can be operated with a tablet or smartphone allowing remote monitoring of the system.
