Cellstation™ High Throughput Bioreactors - FLUOROMETRIX
The Fluorometrix family of Cellstation™ High Throughput Bioreactors is a paradigm shifting cell cultivation technology. It allows for highly parallel bioprocessing by a multiple-vessel architecture with non-invasive monitoring and control of critical process parameters. The core technology is derived from a common patent base licensed from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) under extended terms of exclusivity. Key advantages are deployment of pre-calibrated, disposable bioreactors that confer enormous time and labor advantages over traditional technology. This cost saving, scaleable, automated culture technology is well positioned to facilitate the entire biopharma cell culturing and fermentation process and will not only save millions in labor and materials, but will also reduce the time to market for new drugs - an additional incalculable savings in opportunity cost and human life. Fluorometrix’s technology provides the missing link to fully deliver on the promise of post-genomics and proteome based drug development.
HTBR™ User Benefits
The HTBR presents a viable and cost- effective compromise between the parallelism of shake flask culturing and the monitoring and control capabilities of culturing with a lab-scale bioreactor. The system is designed to minimize set-up times and to operate with a minimum of operator intervention, thereby dramatically increasing the productivity of the laboratory scientist.
Bottom line: Better, Cheaper, Faster
HTBR™ Cost Savings
The cost savings resulting from the use of the HTBR™ system result directly from its ability to increase yield in the bioprocess laboratory and lead to productivity increases at far lower cost compared to the competition:
- Highly parallel system – large numbers of cultures can be run simultaneously.
- Pre-calibrated sensors lead to minimal labor and provide advanced process information.
- The small working volumes result in reduced usage of nutrients and medium.
- Using disposable materials greatly saves labor and reduces contamination.
- Maintenance, calibration and cleaning validation costs are virtually zero.

Cellphase® Dissolved Oxygen Sensor - FLUOROMETRIX
The Cellphase® Dissolved Oxygen Sensor (DO-1) is a portable detection system with the ability to service existing glassware and other laboratory apparatus. It is primarily designed to be used in conjunction with flat bottom laboratory glassware, which can be seated on top of the CellPhase® sensing element. The CellPhase® DO-1 system interfaces to a PC for data acquisition, trending, and logging.
Key to the design of the DO-1 is the non-invasive nature of the system. Unlike most existing sensors requiring the physical insertion of an instrument-connected probe into the fluid to measure dissolved oxygen, the DO-1 actually resides outside the fluid, illuminating a special chemically treated luminescent patch residing within the fluid with light energy. This causes, in response, a luminescent light energy to be generated which, when collected and properly analyzed, provides precise information on the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the fluid. This non-invasive technique helps prevent contamination of the fluid being tested, thereby providing a means for monitoring and controlling chemical reactions in a closed vessel without contaminating or stopping the bioprocess being analyzed.
