  • Sample storage and cooling
  • Sample transfer to up to 4 analyzers
  • Unique filtration technology for cell removal

NUMERA®

Key Benefits
  • Automated sampling 24/7
  • High frequency and low volume sampling
  • Individual sample preparation including consistent cell removal.
  • On-line measurements with common analyzers
  • Automated data import from analyzers and advanced feedback control loops with Lucullus®
  • Sterile Interface

    The Multiplexer offers 4 connections for single use sample lines, which can be connected to bioreactors or vessels. Sterility is ensured through pinch valves and ethanol. A Numera system can include up to 4 Multiplexer modules.

  • Flexible Sample Processing

    The Routing Module interconnects the various modules and offers transfer of samples to the Autosampler and up to 4 analyzers.

  • Precise Dilution

    The cell containing samples can be diluted or mixed with a reagent using a highly precise syringe drive. Dilution rate can be varied between 1:2 to 1:20.

  • Unique Membrane Filtration

    The unique loss free membrane filtration with tangential flow  enables gentle and complete cell removal with low sample volumes. Various pore sizes from 0.2 to 1.2 µm are available.

  • Sample Storage

    The Autosampler is equipped with Peltier cooling racks and can be used with various sample vials from 1.5 to 10ml. The device is available in two sizes with space for up to 384 vials.

  • HPLC Integration

    An inject valve for HPLC (up to 20’000 psi) can be included in the Autosampler setup. Direct inject provides loss free and fast analytics with HPLC system of various vendors.
