Groton Biosystems releases in-situ filter sampling probe for automated, manual extraction of cell-free samples

Groton Biosystems, the leader in automated online bioprocess sampling, has announced the release of a sterilizable, disposable in-situ filter sampling probe for automated and manual extraction of cell-free samples. The rugged design of this product delivers extended service life in typical bioreactor applications and features a nonbinding inert surface which resists clogging throughout the extended process runtimes most often associated with cell culture and perfusion applications. The probe is well suited for applications such as mammalian cell culture, E.coli, yeast, both aerobic and anaerobic cultures, other bacterial fungi, algae, and insect cell cultures.

“Cell free samples can be drawn from the vessel using traditional manual sampling techniques or with the Groton Biosystems' ARS-M™ auto sampler. Either way it is a win/win as it improves productivity and reduces risk.”

"This new product simplifies the analysis of samples by eliminating filtration or centrifugation while reducing the risk of contamination." said Bill Dinardo, CEO of Groton Biosystems.
