BROOKS INSTRUMENT MASS FLOW CONTROLLERS PROVIDE INTELLIGENT GAS FLOW CONTROL IN NEW CYTIVA BIOREACTOR
ytiva, a global provider of leading life sciences brands, has launched its new Xcellerex X-platform bioreactors, which feature SLA5800 Series Biotech mass
flow controllers from Brooks Instrument, a world leader in advanced flow, pressure and vapor delivery solutions.
Used to create monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatments and for manufacturing cell and gene therapies and viral vectors, the X- platform bioreactors can be ordered in 50 L or 200 L sizes, with larger sizes to follow. Mass flow controllers (MFCs) are essential components in bioreactors, managing the precise flow of pure gasses like carbon dioxide, nitrogen, air and oxygen into bioreactor chambers. The SLA Series Biotech MFC from Brooks Instrument is engineered specifically to maximize process yield. It offers a high turndown ratio to control a wider range of gas flows, allowing simplified
gas box design for reduced cost and enhanced reliability. In addition, the SLA Series Biotech MFCs incorporate materials certified as safe for use in FDA-regulated processes. For its X-platform product, Cytiva specified Brooks Instrument MFCs with the high-speed advanced EtherNet/IP digital communications protocol that enables real-time MFC diagnostics and provides a pathway for predictive modelling and analytics. End users are challenged to tighten control over raw material use, automate manual or high-risk process steps and augment operator capabilities while minimising process variability and labor costs. Brooks Instrument developed its Biotech offering to answer the industry’s increasing demand for gas flow control technology that meets the unique needs of bioreactors and bioprocessing operations.

ronkhorst’s IQ+FLOW series of miniature mass flow and pressure meters and controllers is widely used by equipment manufacturers in the analytical, biotechnology and life science market. Due to the application
of chip sensors and mini-valves the footprint of single channel instruments is only 20mm by 40mm. This is a great advantage for manufacturers of desktop equipment, who are always looking for optimal space efficiency. The IQ+FLOW product line has now been extended with pressure instruments with media-isolated pressure sensors. The sensor chip is protected by a stainless- steel diaphragm and oil-filled compartment. With this new option, the instruments can handle a much wider variety of media than before, including thin gases such as hydrogen and helium.
According to the requirements of the aforementioned markets, the instruments have low-outgassing and clean wetted parts. IQ+ FLOW series are available in three configurations: single channel versions for either inline or topmount integration and multi-channel versions. Compact 2- or 3- channel instruments can be configured on customer specification to measure or control the mass flow and/or the upstream or downstream pressure in a system.
