Taking samples during bioprocessing is an integral part of quality control. It allows to gather information about culture growth, medium conditions, as well as metabolite or product concentrations. Ideally, sampling should take place regularly and in equal intervals. However, for manual sampling this often involves extra work at night or during weekends. Here, automated sampling is an attractive alternative, freeing up time for other tasks or just a relaxing weekend. The Eppendorf Bioprocess Autosampler is offering exactly that freedom by allowing 24/7 sampling and safe storage of your valuable culture snapshots.
