BioProfile FLEX2 combines Nova’s MicroSensor™ Card technology with optical measurement and freezing point osmometry for an automated and comprehensive cell culture analyzer that eliminates chemistry sensor maintenance, increases analyzer speed, and reduces sample volume. The full 16 test menu includes: Gluc, Lac, Gln, Glu, NH4+, Na+, K+, Ca++, pH, PCO2, PO2, total cell density, viable cell density, viability, cell diameter, and osmolality.

BioProfile FLEX2 is capable of automated online sampling to ambr 15 and 250 microbioreactors and also to bench scale bioreactor systems with optional sample retain collector.

In addition Nova are showcasing the new FAST CDV analyser for high throughput, fully automated Cell Density and Cell Viability Analysis. The analyzer is capable of producing results in under 70 seconds with just 100uL of sample volume. In addition, it performs all sample dilutions internally, enabling cell culture samples up to 140e6 c/mL to be analyzed without any external sample dilution.
