With protocols for bioprocessing now firmly established, there is an increasing focus on reducing the cost of producing biologics, biosimilars, mABs and other modern medicines that require bioreactions. Producing these pharmaceuticals promises to revolutionize treatment of many difficult diseases, especially modern scourges that have been resistant to small molecule-based therapies. Focus on cost reduction and […]
Optimizing Bioreactor Production Bioreactors are used in a growing number of applications, from producing bio-adaptive medicines or environmentally friendly fertilizers and pesticides, to brewing beer, refining ethanol and treating wastewater. The increase in biologics production and single use reactors has led to a need for even greater precision and flexibility in instrumentation. Alicat Scientific’s broad range […]
The BioAsia 2019 Life Sciences 4.0 Meeting is coming to Hyderabad, India from February 25-27 at the HICC. Alicat will be exhibiting our line of scientific flow control instrumentation at BioAsia for the first time inside the Scientific Enabler Pavilion Alicat has recently announced our upgraded mass flow controllers with dramatic improvements in precision, response […]

Our world is moving faster and flow processes are not immune to this. Newer industrial communications protocols can deliver flow data from hundreds of flow meters in less than a second. This increased speed of data acquisition can improve your process, but the speed of your flow sensor can improve the data itself. In this […]
Alicat instruments are used in a wide variety of applications. We’re found in vacuum coating applications, food processing and the creation of fiber optics cabling. Alicat instruments test components to verify they are space worthy, provide flow control precise enough for even paint deposition from automated painting machines and precise enough to control propulsion on […]
Highly customized flow and pressure control for demanding applications You know your process. We know the parts you need to help get you there. At Alicat, we are not only focused on accuracy but customizability. We give our customers the best solution for their application, whether that be in a humid, corrosive or heavily regulated […]
Alicat instruments are built specifically for the conditions under which they will operate and the environments where they will be used, according to each customer’s needs. We work directly with customers to understand the stressors that will be placed on the instrument to ensure that every Alicat is up to the challenges they may experience […]
ILS Automation makes the transition to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) easier with Alicat mass flow controllers. Specializing in process integration for bioreactors, ILS Automation supplies precise control hardware and software to the fermentation, cell culture, and biofuel industries.
