Modbus Digital sensors

Why a digital sensor?

Digital sensors (including Cell Density) has been integrated into Solaris PCS and Leonardo software giving the user the benefit of having a unique platform.
Fully compensated digital sensors, store and transmit all relevant sensor data, including calibration and diagnostic information directly to Solaris Leonardo software.
Wide range of choice between: pH, dO2, ORP, conductivity, Total Cell Density, Viable Cell Density. 

 

Gas Mixing

Various controller and hardware configurations enable aeration strategies using air, oxygen, nitrogen or a mixture of these to enrich the air. The mass-flow controller allows the exact flow rate control of individual gases. The flexible aeration options integrated in the bioreactor permit a wide range of different application giving to this system a substantial versatility.

• Thermal Mass Flow Controller in entry model
• Gas mixing through TMFC+ solenoid valves or numbers of TMFC
• Automatic gas mixing algorithms for simplified controls (4-gas, 3-gas, O2 enrichment, N2 enrichment)
• Toro, fluted and sintered spargers

User-friendly Software

The software is the user’s best friend in experimental design planning and performing trial runs, as well as analyzing and optimizing media and parameters for cultivation.
The graphical user interface enables you to select the software functions intuitively. Data extracted are compatible with Windows Excel. However, Solaris has developed Leonardo data viewer, a platform where to easily and quickly manage fermentation data.
The software is included in the fermenter supply and can be installed on unlimited number of client’s PC or laptop.
