Amphora amphora

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.”
- Dr. Lukas Neutsch

Head of Bioprocess Technology Division, ZHAW Life Sciences and Facility Management 

  • amphora-why
    WHY AMPHORA ?

    Amphora combines up to four feeding bottles on a stackable pump & scale tower on a minimal footprint for full gravimetric liquid control in parallel small volume bioprocesses.

  • 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

    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

    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.
