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.

Elastomer Considerations for Bioreactors

Biocompatible wetted materials are important to avoid contamination. At Alicat Scientific, we are very aware of the need to prevent contamination of the fragile bioprocessing ecosystem. Including importance of appropriate wetted materials, minimal outgassing and products free from contamination. Alicat BIO Series flow meters and controllers, can help ensure that fast, precise and uncontaminated flow is always in your process.

High Flow Control for Gasification

Alicat Scientific Mass Flow Controllers can be used in multiple areas of the gasification process: combustion, clean-up reactors, safety, & quality control. Get more precise syngas production, redundancy between units and extremely fast control. Alicat’s MCR controllers with near-frictionless Rolamite proportional control valves- rapidly & precisely control flow rates up to 5000 SLPM. With accuracy of +/- (0.8% of reading + 0.2% of full scale range) to high flow rates, precise composition can be ensured.

Lowered Cost and Increased Speed for Biologics Production

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 and current trends toward single use bioreactors. You can reduce your cost per run and extend your processes with Alicat’s astonishing mass flow accuracy as low as .1% of full scale and unbeatable repeatability of +/- .02% of full scale readings.
