Automated Cell Culture Analyzer with Maintenance-Free Chemistry Sensors

BioProfile FLEX2 combines Nova’s groundbreaking MicroSensor^™ Card technology with optical measurement and freezing point osmometry for an automated and comprehensive cell culture analyzer that eliminates chemistry sensor maintenance, increases analyzer speed, and reduces sample volume. The full 16 cell culture test menu includes: Gluc, Lac, Gln, Glu, NH₄⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Ca⁺⁺, pH, PCO₂, PO₂, total cell density, viable cell density, viability, cell diameter, and osmolality.

Compared to the previous generation BioProfile FLEX there is no maintenance for any of the 11 chemistry and gas sensors, sample volume for the full test menu is reduced by 75% to 275 microliters, and testing time is reduced to just 4.5 minutes. Automated sampling from 96-well plates, syringes, or a 24-position external “load-and-go” sample tray provides maximum workflow flexibility and efficiency for cell culture monitoring.
