Description

Upstream Manufacturing Applications

CLONE SCREENING

Speed to market, boost cell longevity, increase yield and reduce production costs — Know more about your clones sooner and select the best clones earlier in the process.

CELL LINE DEVELOPMENT

Boost cell longevity and maximize cell productivity — Optimize osmolality when developing new feeds and additives in cell culture to increase cell longevity.

FORMULATION DEVELOPMENT

Accelerate formulation development and stability testing — Integrate into automated workflows providing excipient concentrations and confirm the soluble content of formulations.

Product Features

EFFORTLESSLY RUN MULTIPLE SAMPLES

The plate-loading format allows samples to be robotically pipetted into the 96-well plate. Load up to two plates onto the device for 192 tests.

AUTOMATION-FRIENDLY WORKFLOWS

Streamline efficiency and reduce hands-on operator time with seamless integration with automation workflows using Ambr®, Cedex® and Tecan®

MINIMIZE CONSUMABLES REPLACEMENT

Perform up to 1,000 tests before a consumables change is required. Uninterrupted sample testing overnight, weekend, and even holidays.

CONSERVE VITAL SAMPLES

Just a 50uL sample volume is needed for early process osmolality testing; 20 uL for STAT testing.

USER-FRIENDLY INTERFACE

An intuitive operating system and touchscreen interface provides a step-by-step guide to tests and allow users to easily get the status of tests and consumables.

ASSURE ACCURACY

Custom covers seal the plate to prevent sample evaporation to ensure repeatable and reliable results.

FLEXIBLE AND SECURE DATA MANAGEMENT

Quickly save data to a network database, USB device or web server. Automate the sample identification process and instrument control with bi-directional communication to eliminate transcription errors and save time. Easily integrate your results into a data management system and batch records with OPC-UA.

AUTOMATED SELF-CLEANING

Eliminate sample carryover and cross-contamination with automated sampling and fluid cleaning.

CUSTOMIZABLE TEMPLATES

Develop and store templates to reduce set-up time when testing large numbers of samples from bioreactors in your high-volume workflow.

SUPPORT COMPLIANCE

Data integrity features support 21 CFR part 11 compliance for ease of implementation into a GMP environment.

BACKED BY COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT

Every Advanced Instruments osmometer is backed by a knowledgeable, experienced and responsive customer support team for complete confidence in your instrument.
