Amphora - Revolutionize Smart Feeding in Bioprocessing
Amphora is a space saving solution for accurate and precise gravimetric single and multi-feed control in bioprocessing.
Amphora offers a variety of multi-feed options to support diverse bioprocessing needs.
“Amphora is unique in terms of space requirements, precision and integration into the bioprocess world.”

-
Unique Design
Up to four feeding bottles on a stackable pump & scale tower
-
Precision
From 0.14 ml/min to 7.3 ml/min (H2O at 20°C, zero pressure)
0 g to 3000 g, resolution 0.1 g, precision 1 ‰ -
Space Saving
Minimal footprint (space requirement identical to footprint of bottles used)
-
Highly Useful
Ready-to-use solution for feed development and media optimization in parallel small volume bioprocesses.
Ideal for equipping existing installations with additional smart feeding capacity.
CONFIGURATION
-
AMPHORA Station 1
Amphora Station 1 consists of one scale, one dual pump, one 2x1L and one 1x2L feeding bottle holder. Ideal for a dual feed set-up for one bioreactor, e.g. when feeding media and supplement in fed-batch applications. Ideal for a dual feed set-up for two bioreactors, e.g. when comparing two different feed profiles.
-
AMPHORA Station 2
Amphora Station 2 consists of one scale, two dual pumps, one 4x0.25L, one 3x0.5L, one 2x1L and one 1x2L feeding bottle holder. Ideal for a multi feed set-up for one bioreactor with up to four feeds Ideal - if integrated in control system - for a multi feed set-up for one bioreactor with two feeds plus antifoam and base Ideal for a multi feed set-up for feeding up to four bioreactors, e.g. when comparing different feed strategies in parallel bioprocesses.
