includes:

• HyPerforma G3Lite Controller
• 30 L HyPerfroma Single Use Fermentor 

 The Thermo Scientific™ HyPerforma™ G3Lite™ Controller is an open architecture control system that can be integrated with any single-use bioreactor such as the Thermo Scientific™ HyPerforma™ Single-Use Bioreactor (S.U.B.). Available in sizes ranging from 30 L to 2,000 L. The system consists of a control tower that leverages intelligent transmitters, mass flow controllers (MFCs), pumps, sensors, and Thermo Scientific™ TruBio™ software, which facilitates easy, reliable, and repeatable process development and commercial cell culture processes. HyPerforma G3Lite Controllers are fully self-contained,
movable units that can be operated as stand-alone (for 1 vessel) or networked for multiple vessels. They are engineered to optimize capital cost for use in non-GMP and cGMP-certified production facilities.

Benefits

• Open architecture capabilities to integrate and communicate with vessels from other suppliers* (Sartorius, Millipore, and GE)
• Return on investment (ROI)—help increase productivity and minimize downtime

Features

• Stand-alone or networked (for multiple vessels)— enabled by distributed control system (DCS)
• Flexible upstream TruBio software powered by Emerson™ DeltaV system
• Includes up to six MFCs with air, O2, N2, CO2 for direct sparge, cross-flow, and overlay
• Probe configuration options—flexibility to connect electrochemical, single-use, or both for pH and dissolved oxygen (DO) measurements
• Foam level, load cell, and Thermo Scientific™ TruTorr™ II pressure transmitters included in controller
• Scalability—transfer any process from 30 L to 2,000 L
• Modularity—predefined configurations available for 30, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1,000, and 2,000 L bioreactors
• Scales and pumps available for multifeed purpose, including four peristaltic pumps for acid, alkali, antifoam, and feed
• Includes vent filter heater controller
• Touchscreen interface for easy data entry and control when necessary
• Temperature control unit (TCU) integration options available for implementing a temperature control strategy

The Thermo Scientific™ HyPerforma™ Single-Use Fermentor (S.U.F.) and associated BioProcess Containers (BPCs) are designed to provide enhanced functionality, ease of use, and efficiency. The complete HyPerforma S.U.F. system consists of a fermentor tank and a HyPerforma S.U.F. BPC or a HyPerforma Enhanced S.U.F. (eS.U.F.) BPC. Both are available in 30 L and 300 L sizes. The HyPerforma S.U.F. BPC features a 5:1 turndown ratio and is available in Thermo Scientific™ Aegis™ 5-14 and CX5-14 film options. All HyPerforma S.U.F.s maintain traditional stirred-tank fermentation design principles, including specific height-to-diameter ratios (3:1) and a top-driven impeller location that delivers optimum cell viability, performance, and scalability from process development through production.

HyPerforma S.U.F. hardware features

• All units come standard with 4 probe hangers, a drive shaft, and a resistance temperature detector (RTD)
  Other features are available, such as condensers, load cells, vent filter heaters, cable/tubing management tree, and backup exhaust filter pinch clamp
• Complete mixing system with a water jacket for temperature control
• The drive shaft inserts into the BPC through the mixing drive motor and locks into the BPC agitator assembly
