Eppendorf BioFlo 320 Bioprocess Control Station for Single-Use Vessel Fermentation and Cell Culture

The Eppendorf BioFlo 320 is a versatile bioprocess control station engineered for precise management of single-use (SU) and glass bioreactors, tailored to support sophisticated fermentation and cell culture workflows. Designed with a compact footprint, it integrates seamlessly in R&D and pilot-scale biomanufacturing environments where space efficiency and operational flexibility are critical.

Key technical features include:

• Modular system compatibility: Supports SU vessels with optional glass vessel integration via a water condenser drawer.
• Control and monitoring: Mounted touchscreen display for intuitive operation; optional fourth front pump for extended process control.
• Gas sparging: Three TMFC (thermal mass flow controller) gas sparge drawers, operating within 0.04 to 20.0 SLPM range, enabling precise aeration control.
• Sensor connectivity: Equipped with two digital ISM (Intelligent Sensor Management) or analog sensor ports, expandable to four, facilitating real-time sensor diagnostics to anticipate failures—critical for robust molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology processes.
• Comprehensive sensor support: Compatible with pH sensors (Hamilton Easyferm, Mettler Toledo 405-DPAS-SC), dissolved oxygen sensors (Mettler InPro 6860i VP, Hamilton Visiferm VP), RTD temperature sensors, and foam/level sensors.
• Thermal management: Heat blankets for vessel temperature control, including exhaust blanket options, essential for maintaining cell viability in bioprocessing applications.
• Additional accessories: Integrated DASGIP EGC4 exhaust condenser with Peltier cooling supports stable gas management in biopharmaceutical workflows.

The BioFlo 320’s robust industrial design, Ethernet connectivity, and enhanced software capabilities make it indispensable for biotechnology research fields such as bioprocess optimization, gene editing production, and biomanufacturing. It delivers precise environmental control essential for live-cell imaging and fermentation process optimization, widely adopted in synthetic biology research and critical in biopharmaceutical production pipelines.

Ideal for molecular biology researchers and clinical diagnostics specialists, this bioprocess control system ensures high reproducibility and scalability with minimal lab space usage, supporting complex bioprocess workflows from bench-scale experimentation to pilot production.
