Eppendorf BioFlo 320 Universal Benchtop Bioprocess Control Station

The Eppendorf BioFlo 320 is a versatile benchtop bioprocess control station designed for microbial fermentation and cell culture applications in biotechnology and biopharmaceutical production. It supports both interchangeable autoclavable vessels and BioBLU® single-use bioreactors, enabling flexible bioprocessing workflows essential for molecular cloning, synthetic biology, and molecular diagnostics research.

Key technical features include:

• Integrated Mettler Toledo® Intelligent Sensor Management (ISM) platform for precise monitoring of pH, dissolved oxygen, and other critical process parameters, vital for reliable fermentation and cell growth.
• Capability to control up to eight bioreactors from a single interface via Ethernet connectivity, facilitating streamlined bioprocess scale-up and parallel experimentation.
• Field-upgradable TMFC gas flow control drawers providing sparge and overlay gas management with eight independent gas supplies, optimizing aerobic and anaerobic cultures.
• A robust software suite with advanced cascade and time profile controls, supporting complex batch, fed-batch, continuous, and perfusion bioprocesses.
• Built-in optical pH sensing technology designed for compatibility with single-use vessels, reducing contamination risk critical in GMP-regulated biomanufacturing pipelines.
• Up to six integrated variable-speed pumps for automated media feeding and sampling, enhancing process automation and reproducibility.
• Suitable for applications in bioprocessing, gene editing workflows, and biocompatible culture scale-up, making it an indispensable tool for biotechnology researchers and clinical diagnostics.
• Comprehensive validation packages available to meet strict regulatory standards applicable in synthetic biology research and biopharmaceutical manufacturing.

The Eppendorf BioFlo 320 integrates industrial-grade engineering with flexible vessel compatibility and intelligent sensing to deliver precision and scalability in benchtop bioprocessing systems widely adopted in both academic and industrial biotechnology laboratories.
