Description

The HABITAT Cell Control Tower offers an optimised bioreactor solution for cell culture applications, enabling precise monitoring and control of cell culture processes. It consists of a control unit with comprehensive connectivity options for gas supply, liquid addition, multi-parameter sensors and temperature regulation, along with a user-friendly tablet interface for seamless bioreactor operation and control.

Control and Monitoring

The intuitive software allows easy control and monitoring of the bioprocess and associated parameters via a 10.4inch tablet. Users can select from batch, fed-batch and prefusion/continuous operating modes, catering to various cell culture techniques. The innovative Chaotic Mixing function enables efficient and homogeneous mixing when required. The control software provides clear calibration management, real-time data visualisation and complete process documentation, ensuring compliance with FDA CFR Part 11 requirements (optional).

Gas Supply

Precise and adjustable gassing is achieved through four individual built-in mass flow controllers for four separate gas lines (N2, O2, air and CO2), enabling flow rates of 0.01-2L/min. tailored to cell growth requirements. By using the integrated and freely customisable cascade control system, each gas flow can be automatically adjusted by the software at any time according to the ambient conditions in order to maintain target parameters.

Liquid Supply

Four integrated Watson-Marlow pumps with adjustable direction and speed off the highest precision and versatility in pumping in and out acid, base, anti-foam agents and feeding solutions for mammalian cell culture media management.

Sensors

HABITAT Bioreactor comes equipped with the latest technology sensors to precisely monitor and control critical bioprocess parameters. The following sensors are included in the standard sales vessel packages:

- pH

- DO (dissolved oxygen)

- temperature

- filling level

- foam

Optional sensors: CO2, Conductivity, Turbidity, Viable cell mass, Redox, Off-gas analysis and more.

PID Temperature Control

The integrated PID control ensures precise temperature regulation at all times, regardless of vessel type (single-wall or double-wall) or fill level. Single-wall glass vessels can be heated with a heating blanket, allowing for accurate temperature settings above room temperature. With the optional use of a cooling finger, it is also possible to achieve temperatures below room temperature. For double-walled vessels, in combination with an IKA thermostat, the temperature range can be freely adjusted between 5-80°C, independent of room conditions or heat generated by the culture itself.
