Modern bioprocesses are often complex and requiring many steps, including: upstream preparation, fermentation, and downstream processing. Flotek has built a portfolio of products to aid in all aspects of your bioprocess from start to finish. We focus heavily on mixing/homogenization, process analytic technologies (PAT), bioreactors, and filtration/separation.
Upstream
Media Prep
Admix Mixers and Powder Induction Systems
Streamline the media preparation process, guaranteeing consistency, speed, and safety.
White Mountain Process
Custom engineered cGMP compliant tank and mixing solutions.
Mammalian Cell Culture
iPrasense CytoNote
Live cell imager that resides in the incubator and works with all standard shake flasks to track confluency of adherent cell lines.
Cell Culture / Fermentation (Harvest)
Iprasense Norma
Dye-free cell and viability counters with no dilution necessary. These visual cytometers acquire images lightning fast and require extremely small sample volumes (3-13 uL).
Verder Bioprocessing Pumps
Extremely dependable and accurate pumps with a 4000:1 turndown ratio. Speed range 0.1-400 rpm, Minimum Flow 0.25 mL/min, Max Flow 6600 mL/min. Touch screen interface with range of compatible communication protocols (4-20mA, RS485, DCS, etc…). GMP ready with reports and passwords, small footprint, and stackable.
Sonotec In-line Flow Meters
Autoclavable accurate and precise flow meters capable of measuring flow rates as low as 0.4 mL/min. Delivers real time flow measurement but can also be used for volume dosing/totalizer. Can work as a flow switch with external devices via 4-20mA, 0-20 kHz, and RS485 modbus.
Flotek PID Controller
The Flotek Controller is an extremely versatile communication node that allows for Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control of the in/out rate allows for automated balance feed in a perfusion process.
Separation and Purification
Sonotec Ultrasonic Non-invasive Flow Meters
These ultrasonic non-invasive clamp-on sensors deliver unparalleled accuracy and precision for measuring flow rates. They iare compatible with different tubing types, sizes, and manufacturers. No additional equipment require as all electronic signal processes happens in the body of the probe – perfect for helping to automate your downstream processing.
Fill and Finish
Flotek PID Controller
Combine with Sonotec Flow Meters and Verder Pumps for dosing and filling.
White Mountain Process
Custom holding tanks and filling systems.
Facilities
Parkson Water Treatment Systems
Industry standard for biosolids management and waste water processing.
Flotek forms lasting partnerships with the companies we represent, and our goal is to provide advanced technologies along with the best support possible.
