Bioprocess & Fieldbus Technology: Trend or Fact?

PAT, high-throughput screening, scale-up, scale-down and other bioprocess related issues no longer are a trend, but a must. Whether it is for micro-bioreactors, labscale autoclavable systems or for in-situ bioreactors, it is a fact that advanced measurement and control units, as well as SCADA, are installed. The Bio Console XL is a fieldbus powered control system and utility unit. Applications are in the control of bioreactors from the laboratory to production scale. This, along with Applikons development of standard, off the shelf, industrial controllers with Siemens, Allan Bradley and Delta V, now gives ease and piece of mind to small and large bioprocessing organizations alike. Bio Console XL: Designed for the Bioprocess Professional; Multiple reactor control; Industrial power (PLC / Fieldbus). The basic console is equipped with a set of I/O and hardware and is to be combined with an Applikon or 3rd party controller.
