The Cedex Bio Bioprocess analyser from Roche is a continuous random-access analyser, designed for a safe and reliable determination of chemical and biochemical parameters in aqueous solutions.
This desktop system is designed to fulfil the requirements for metabolite screening and substrate analysis of bioprocesses.
Its comprehensive testing capabilities include photometric testing and electrolyte testing.
It is possible to measure up to 14 parameters simultaneously (out of 28 programmable tests) per sample.
The Cedex Bio Bioprocess analyser is designed to be easy to operating, enabling continuous loading and unloading of diverse cup types, as well as on-board dilution of highly concentrated samples.
New parameters can be implemented by via plug and play and a development channel for individual assay customisation is planned.
Bioprocess analytics are performed throughout the process, from cell line development to large-scale manufacturing of commercialised therapeutics.
The majority of testing takes place during the upscale from plate-size to pre-clinical or early clinical studies supply - this is where the Cedex Bio Bioprocess analyser comes in useful.
Claimed to be accurate and reliable, the tool provides bioprocess metabolite profiling, which is said to be critical for the optimal production of biotherapeutics.
The Cedex Bio analyser was developed utilising the proven cobas Instrument technology from Roche.
Assays for the determination of Glucose, Lactate, LDH, Ammonia, Na+, K+, Glutamine and Glutamate are available with the instrument.
Future parameters, such as an IgG measurement with comparable precision to HPLC analysis, will be available soon.
