Gas Mixing

Maximum control for mass transfer

Thermal mass flow controllers (MFC) allow precise flow rate control of individual gasses. Up to 5 MFCs can be configured within each unit & integrated to the controlling software. This enables flexible aeration options for a wide range of applications.

Various agitator configurations are key to match to each process. For example, in high oxygen demand fermentation, a Rushton style impeller system may be utilized, whereas in more shear sensitive cell cultivation, a axial style impeller may be better suited.

The powerful software & control platform allows precise cascade adjustment of multiple parameters to manage gas transfer, allowing better maximization of OTR, kLa, etc.

Cube Series

Solaris Cube Series

Why a cube?

Solaris’ modular product design strategy decreases the number of unique parts which reduces time of production. The result is a lean, smart, compact & flexible PCS.

Software

User-friendly Software

Solaris controlling software offers a simply laid out, yet powerful platform for experimental design planning and process control. The graphical user interface enables the intuitive selection & adjustment of control functions.

Extracted data is compatible with Window Excel, but in addition, Solaris offers a platform where fermentation data can be easily exported in real time & thus managed. This software is included in supply and can be installed on an unlimited number of the client’s PC or laptops.

Features include:

Multi-level password protection
Workflow settings (warm-up, calibration, pre-cultivation, cultivation, cleaning, etc.)
Synoptic page with manual-automatic operation toggle of available components, (pumps, temperature control, etc.), & parallel synoptic comparison between units.
Continuous real-time trends available for comparable observation, of up to 6 process and set point variables at one time.
Dynamic zooming and configuration within chosen time frames.
Cascade and profile controls
Parallel setpoint adjustments
Parallel process sensor calibration (offline and online)
Parallel trend comparison
Pump configuration & calibration
PID setting adjustment
USB connection for data extraction
Remote control capabilities
Process recipe storage

Solaris Logic Parser:

The Solaris Logic Parser plug-in, integrated to Leonardo 3.0 as standard, gives users the additional capability of customized control by relating all available process variables with common conditional statements. The communication between Leonardo 3.0 and logical functions is via exchange database.
