USER-FRIENDLY SOFTWARE

Why a digital sensor?
Hamilton sensors (including Cell Density products) have been digitally integrated to the Solaris PCS and Leonardo controlling
software, giving the user many benefits over traditional analog sensor outputs. Such benefits include a robust communication
protocol not susceptible to signal loss, in-software sensor diagnostic information, parallel calibration/batch calibrations and more.

Solaris controlling software offers a simply laid out, yet powerful platform for experimental design planning and process control. The
graphical user interface enables the intuitive selection and adjustment of control functions.
Extracted data is compatible with Window Excel but, in addition, Solaris offers a platform where fermentation data can be easily
exported in real time and thus managed. This software is included in the supply and can be installed on an unlimited numer of theclient’s PC or laptops.

Do it parallel: smarter..fasterSensor lifetraceability

Reducingbackground noise

Leonardo allows intuitive and time-saving parallel operations. Upto 24 indipendent fermentations/cultivations can be carried out
simultaneously.

Do it wireless!
Increase mobility: users have the option to access the platform remotely via PC, tablet, phone. Remote access is multi-levelpassword protected.

GAS MIXING
Hardware and software adaptability are key to enable the best aeration strategy for each process. Thermal mass flow controllers(TMFC) allow precise flow rate control of individual gasses. Up to 5 TMFC’s can be configured within each PCS cube andintegrated to the controlling software. The powerful software and control platform allows precise cascade adjustment ofmultiple parameters to manage gas transfer, OTR, kLa, etc.

• n.1 TMFC included in “entry” level system; additional
available as optional.
• Various agitator and baffle designs available• Automatic gas mixing algorithms• Toro, sintered and other spargers available
