FAQ's of Eppendorf DASbox Mini Bioreactor System:
Q: How does the DASbox Mini Bioreactor System ensure independent control of multiple cultures?
A: The DASbox system allows up to four mini bioreactors to operate independently, with each module having separate automated control over parameters like pH, DO, temperature, and agitation. This individual management guarantees parallel, reproducible experiments tailored to specific process needs.
Q: What are the benefits of using the integrated digital sensors for pH, DO, and optical density?
A: Digital sensors provide precise, real-time measurements and automated feedback control, enhancing accuracy in bioprocess monitoring. This ensures optimal growth conditions, facilitates data acquisition, and improves the consistency and quality of experimental results.
Q: When should I use the DASbox Mini Bioreactor System in my research workflow?
A: This system is most advantageous during process development, optimization, and scale-down modeling, especially when parallel experimentation or high-throughput operations are required. Its scalability and automation streamline workflows from early-stage research through to pre-production trials.
Q: Where can the DASbox system be installed, and what are its space requirements?
A: Designed for laboratory environments, the DASbox has compact dimensions (approx. 307 x 267 x 375 mm per unit) and a moderate weight (around 12 kg), making it suitable for benchtop installation. It fits comfortably in most research labs without occupying excessive space.
Q: What process management capabilities does the DASware control software offer?
A: Eppendorf DASware control software centralizes process management and data acquisition. It allows users to program experimental protocols, monitor real-time data, automate parameter adjustments, and export results for analysis. Compatibility with OPC and SCADA systems facilitates seamless integration into existing workflows.
Q: How is sterility maintained during bioprocessing operations?
A: Sterility is ensured through the use of autoclavable glass bioreactor vessels and stainless steel system components. After use, these can be thoroughly cleaned and autoclaved, helping prevent contamination and maintaining optimal process conditions.
