A Revolutionary, On-line Biotech Assay System

The GPA1000™ is a fully automated, on-line bioreactor process analyzer system designed specifically to address the need for accurate, high speed, and cost effective monitoring of biotechnology reactors. This powerful system can sample a reactor or fermenter, process the sample, perform all assays, and display complete analytical results in as little as 15 minutes for a wide range of measurements including protein titer, nutrient and metabolite assays, and biophysical measurements. This easy to use system is delivered with a comprehensive library of analytical methods suitable for most installations. In a typical installation, the GPA1000 connects directly to the reactor through a proprietary sanitary connection. Samples can be as small as ½ to 5 ml per assay cycle.

AUTOMATED SAMPLE COLLECTION

The GPA1000 directly collects a sample from the reactor on a programmed schedule controlled by the instrument's firmware, the facility's information management system, or the reactor control system. The GPA1000 is connected to the reactor by a proprietary connection insuring complete, sanitary isolation of the reactor and analyzer. Sample volumes vary from ½ to 5 ml per cycle.*
AUTOMATED SAMPLE PREPARATION

The GPA1000 completely and automatically prepares and processes all requested sample fractions in as little as 15 minutes. The instrument performs self-calibration per schedule or on request. Internal Clean-in-Place systems insure accurate determinations and that no batch to batch contamination or carryover can occur.
AUTOMATED ASSAY SYSTEM

The GPA1000 assays proteins, nutrients, metabolites, and biophysical data automatically and on-line. Single channel, single molecule and multiplexed multichannel, multicomponent configurations are available. Several analytical options are available to customize the assay system to your particular specification.
