Bioreactors Rely on Mass Flow Controllers to Maintain a Controlled Environment in Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing

In biopharmaceutical manufacturing, mass flow controllers (MFCs) are essential for the precise management of bioreactors, which are critical for the production of complex biologics from biological sources. These bioreactors depend on MFCs to meticulously regulate dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH levels, ensuring the right conditions for cell cultures to thrive.

Brooks Instrument’s SLA Series MFCs offer reliable and stable control for these sensitive processes. They feature high turndown ratios for varied gas flows and minimal leak rates, eliminating the need for multiple devices and additional shut-off valves. With pre-calibrated settings for different gases, they simplify system design and are compliant with regulatory standards, while also supporting advanced digital communication protocols for real-time diagnostics and predictive analytics. This technological integration is vital for maintaining the controlled environments necessary for the efficient and successful production of biopharmaceuticals.
