Life science researchers can optimize yield and quality of the desired end product from bioreactors with a time-saving system from Eppendorf. The new Bioprocess Autosampler facilitates sampling 24/7 in short and regular intervals by collecting samples from multiple bioreactors and storing them tempered for later analysis.

By delegating bioprocess sampling to this system, researchers are afforded the time to focus on other tasks. Automated storage of samples in a predefined location is realized with the aid of bioprocess control software in a scheme that reduces the risk for human error.

The Bioprocess Autosampler is compatible with glass and single-use bioreactors with working volumes of 60 ml to 1.8 l. The system is mounted on the lab bench and ensures aseptic operation without the use of a laminar flow cabinet.

The initial release of the Bioprocess Autosampler was designed for microbial applications and is compatible with Eppedorf’s DASbox Mini Bioreactor System and the DASGIP Parallel Bioreactor System. Additional options planned for future releases include capacity for cell culture applications and compatibility with other Eppendorf bioreactor control stations and vessel sizes.
