Engineered for ultimate upstream performance
Making biopharmaceutical development and production faster, simpler and safer.
- Rapid process development and seamless scalability from ambr® to BIOSTAT STR®
- BioPAT® Toolbox&: integrated single-use sensors for monitoring and control of key process parameters
- BIOBRAIN automation platform for flexible configuration, rapid upgrades and simple plant integration
- Process intensification with automated feed and bleed and integrated cell retention functionality
- Connection to Umetrics® SIMCA®: predictive control for bioprocess forecasting and optimization
XL Single-use chromatography system designed for manufacturing scale
- High capacity in a compact format.
- Flexibility supporting use in multiproduct facilities.
- Reliability suitable for GMP production.
To meet the capacity demands from single-use upstream processes (2000 L high-titer feeds), ÄKTA ready XL operates large-scale columns (up to 1200 mm), using the two flow kit sizes that cover a broad range of flow rates from 45 to 3500 L/h. The single-use flow path minimizes the need for cleaning and cleaning validation, allowing for quick changeover between productions, while eliminating the risk of carryover. ÄKTA ready XL offers the accuracy and documentation required for use in a GMP-regulated environment.
An automated robotic solution for endotoxin detection integrated within WinKQCL® Software
- PyroTec® PRO brings the automation of the Bacterial Endotoxin Test to a new level. This innovative use of automation technology provides a seamless integration of robotic liquid handling with a proprietary dynamic control system that offers unparalleled ease-of-use combined with maximum flexibility for high-throughput sample processing that other systems have never achieved.
- PyroTec® PRO is the first fully integrated flexible plate-based solution available to the endotoxin market, designed intrinsically to follow the FDA’s Process Analytical Technology and Data Integrity Initiatives. The system combines the speed and reproducibility of a robotic liquid handling platform with an elegant and extremely powerful software module that makes testing of both simple and complex sample combinations a quick and easy 3-step task for the user.
