This product is a joint development of Groton Biosystems and Agilent, which can automatically collect samples from multiple reactors and perform HPLC analysis 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The Groton Biosystems Automated Reactor Sampling (ARS) system, developed in collaboration with Agilent Technologies, provides a fully programmable and automatic solution for sampling from multiple bioreactors 24/7. It is designed to increase productivity and sample frequency while reducing labor costs and the risk of contamination in biopharmaceutical facilities. The system connects directly to Agilent 1200 Series LC systems and other analytical instruments to enable real-time process monitoring and optimization.

The ARS interfaces with nutrient monitors (e.g., YSI, Nova), HPLC systems (including Agilent 1200 Series), cell counters (e.g., Vi-Cell, Cedex), and fraction collectors.
The ARS800 configuration allows sampling from up to eight reactors.
The fraction collector maintains a temperature range of 4°C to 37°C.
The system supports analysis for glucose, lactate, glutamate, glutamine, sucrose, ammonium, potassium, ethanol, lactose, methanol, and chlorine.
