How can I monitor process parameters during a cell culture run? The 3L bioreactor's software allows for customizable programming of process controls and real-time monitoring of parameters using various sensors. Feedback loops can be used to pause a run based on deviations from a set range.
What are recommended methods for sampling and harvesting? Both sampling and harvesting of cells can be achieved by unscrewing the orange cap on top of the single-use vessel (one cap on 0.1L, two caps on 0.5L vessel) and using a pipette to withdraw media. It is recommended to perform these procedures under a biosafety hood.
What is the function of the power accessory cable? This accessory allows the power cables from four different Mini bases to be combined into one plug for a wall outlet.
