Biotech equipment is used for cellular and biomolecular processing to develop products that improve our lives and the planet. With the help of specialized lab equipment, the active substance is manufactured or extracted from biological origin materials and typically produced in bioreactors by plant cells, microbial cells, yeast cultures, or mammalian cells. Cell isolation, cultivation, cell banking, and culture expansion are called upstream processes. After harvest, the production process moves into a downstream process to meet purity and quality requirements which is divided into cell disruption, purification, and polishing. Biotechnology equipment makes use of various laboratory machinery such as bioreactors, centrifuges and incubators.

Industrial sampling equipment are systems that allow manufacturers to test (in other words to take a sample of) the products they are manufacturing. This process is generally implemented as a means of quality control but it can also be used as a mean to ensure that production processes adhere to certain regulatory standards. Quality control in your manufacturing process starts with precision sampling techniques. Automated systems deliver consistent samples at a pre-set rate for accurate testing and probing. Sampling technology uses a calibration system involving a series of sensors to extract the material at high levels of reliability.

Sampling

Industrial measurement equipment is used as a crucial step before products leave the production line. These measuring instruments check for correct dosage and standards. Equipment for measurement and control employs a wide range of technologies to detect inconsistencies in volumes, sizes, weights, and fill levels as well as to inspect goods for quality against a set of criteria. Specialized measuring tools allow you to minimize the probability for error to its lowest possible, ensuring that both products and packaging meet your benchmarks.

Measurement &amp; Control

Complex processes call for continuous tracking and monitoring systems that help you to keep the manufacturing operation under control. The technology analyzes the components in the production phase for divergence in behavior or changes in conditions. Based on advanced software applications, monitoring platforms make sure that your products satisfy the quality criteria while they are being developed.

Monitoring

Biopharmaceuticals are drugs in which the active substance is manufactured or extracted from biological origin materials. They are usually produced in bioreactors by plant cells, microbial cells, yeast cultures, or mammalian cells. Also known as biomanufacturing, they are used to either treat or diagnose and prevent a patient’s medical condition or disease. Biopharmaceuticals are typically complex macromolecules administered by injection or infusions, and examples include vaccines, serums, and insulin.

Biopharmaceuticals

Parenteral preparations refer to drugs using non-oral means of administration. Injectables, such as needles and syringes, are used to deliver a drug into the systemic circulation directly in the veins, muscles, under the skin, or in the tissue.

These parenteral formulations are pharmaceutical dosage forms that have strict regulations on being sterile, pyrogen-free, and free from visible particulate matter including reconstituted sterile powders. Solutions, suspensions, emulsions, and gels with APIs intended for administration by injection are usually supplied in vials, ampoules, pre-filled syringes, or pens to facilitate ease of use.

Injectables

Pharmaceutical developments walk side by side with health advances to provide new medicines, treatments, and therapies that have increased life quality and extended life expectancy by years. Pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment helps deliver products to a great deal of the population, but there’s a significant share that doesn’t benefit from them yet. Over 2 billion people cannot get the medicines they need, according to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, and local production might be a way to provide for these people.

Sampling is the process of aseptically drawing a sample from the process for analysis, without disturbing the bioprocess itself. The bioprocess needs to be carefully controlled by measuring important process variables and parameters. These parameters include pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, foam/level, and agitation. The controllers use PID or auto-tuning adaptive control to measure and regulate the process parameters. The choice of a suitable controller depends on the identification of critical process variables.

Handling

Industrial separation equipment encapsulates the separation process which is to separate components of a liquid mixture, for recovering dissolved solids from liquids. The choice of a suitable technology depends on the identification of the key physical or chemical property, such as size, mass, density, or boiling point, which sets the product of interest apart from the rest of the components. Separation technology is widely used in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries for the isolation of active ingredients and high-purity chemicals. As well as in waste management and recycling industries.

Separation

Almost all manufacturers will require industrial storage systems and solutions at some point during their production process. The raw materials that go into your products need dedicated storage solutions to protect them from spoilage and contamination before they enter the manufacturing cycle. Storage usually refers to particular storage space. For example, having enough warehouse storage. Or clearing out a production facility for more floor space.  However, in this case, we are referring to the equipment and solutions that make storage manageable and easier. Such equipment includes solutions such as storage racks, pallet racks and shelving systems. These are just some of many storage options available to manufacturers. Advanced technology facilitates the management of heavy duty and high density tank and silo systems by automating the delivery system and linking it with the rest of the production line.

Pilot high pressure homogenizer

Homogenization is the process of reducing particle size in mixtures to improve the consistency, uniformity, and stability of the product. The choice of a homogenizer depends on the nature of the product, desired particle size, the physical state of the ingredients, and pressure requirements during the process. Homogenization is widely used in the biotech industry for cell lysis and in the pharmaceutical industry for the emulsification of creams and ointments; it also finds applications in the cosmetics and food industries for improving the consistency and uniformity of various products.

Homogenization

Milling machines are used to reduce the size of material by cutting, crushing, or grinding it. The choice of industrial milling equipment depends on the industry and the materials to work with. Besides, there is a significant difference between those aimed to remove layers from metal or other materials workpieces and those designed to reduce particle size for materials that come in bulk.

Milling

Industrial mixing equipment is used to combine two or more solid, liquid or gaseous segregated ingredients into a homogenous single product. The choice of mixing technology depends largely on the physical state of the ingredients and the desired final product. But the sensitivity of the ingredients, the process temperature, and pressure requirements are also critical factors. All these parameters result in a wide range of industrial mixers.

Biopharmaceutical manufacturers require precisely known liquid quantities for testing and process development but time spent measuring and dispensing liquids in the laboratory is expensive and adds no value to the final product.  Use of an automated system for accurately dispensing liquids saves time and labor allowing laboratory personnel to focus on value added tasks.
<h2>High precision, high accuracy automated liquid dispensing with the touch of a button</h2>
Scilog is focused on improving the quality and efficiency of customers’ processes in the biopharmaceutical industry through enhancements and automation of sensing, filtration and other processing needs.  The company’s LabTec system is an automated liquid dispensing system allowing up to 10 user defined dispensing volumes to be established and accurately repeated at the touch of a button.  Accuracy is improved while laboratory technician’s time is saved by avoiding the need to repeatedly measure liquid amounts.  Accuracy of better than 1% is typically achieved.  The system can dispense by volume, or when connected to an electronic balance, by weight and weight ratio.  Dispensing by weight provides enhanced accuracy while dispensing by weight ratio saves even more labor by automatically dispensing the correct amount of fluid based on the weight of substance already in the vessel.  In this way, accurate dilutions can be made without the technician having to carefully measure either substance.  A roughly measured sample of one substance is added to the vessel and the correct amount of diluent is automatically dispensed based on the user defined required weight ratio.  When used with the SciDoc Documentation system the LabTec also compiles, displays and documents up to 10 process parameters providing real-time information about the dispensing progress and status.

Dosing systems are a line of hoppers, feeders, filling machines, and checkweighers that operate in sync to dispense materials accurately. Dosing is an essential feature of the packaging process, whether you’re filling shampoo bottles or tea bags. But dosing equipment is critical for formulations, too, particularly in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Imprecise dosing may cause quality degradation in the best-case scenario. In the worst scenario, it creates serious health risks.

As an alternative to conventional fuels, biogas is produced from the processing of biomass resources as an industrial feedstock. Biogas is a renewable and local energy source that contributes to sustainable heat and power production. Besides making use of agricultural wastes such as crop and forest residues and animal manure, biogas production converts organic wastes from industrial and municipal waste to energy. This is usually achieved by implementing the anaerobic digestion process in biogas plants.

Cell culture has been, over a little more than 100 years, an important method of research in laboratories. But medicine developments aside, we wonder if even the most positive of idealists could have also believed that cell cultures and tissue culture would possibly change the way – and what – we eat. From the lab to the dining table, there’s cell culture equipment to make even the unimaginable possible.
