Designed as a drop-in replacement system for benchtop and pilot-scale reactors, the AFC bioreactor controllers feature a reliable, dedicated and open process control system. The AFC 928 Dual Bioreactor Controller (photo) uses micropumps instead of syringe pumps for very-low flow applications, providing precise control down to 0.05 mL/h, says the company. The system can be equipped with a variety of probes to measure pH, pCO 2, redox, cell density and more. — ILS Automation, Inc., Warrenville, Ill.
