The Advanced Control Bioreactor System BR1000 automates lab-scale mammalian cell culture with highly accurate real-time monitoring and advanced process control.

The replacement of manual processes with automation is a trend in the biopharmaceutical industry. For complete automation of fed-batch mammalian cell culture, the control of glucose, a key nutrient source, is critical. Through in-line sensing and model predictive control software, automated feeding and a stable concentration of glucose in bioreactors can be achieved.
