Seg-Flow S3 Automated Sampling Solution

The Seg-Flow S3 on-line Sampling System is the new generation of automation that provides multiple bioprocess monitoring and control solutions for improving process performance.  The Seg-Flow S3 system’s patented Segmented On-Line Sampling technology allows rapid and accurate sampling for up to 8 vessels and sample delivery to up to 4 analyzers and/or fraction collectors.  The Seg-Flow S3 can control 2 pumps per vessel.  Existing off-line and at-line analytics are seamlessly integrated into a multi-functional on-line PAT tool through the Seg-Flow S3 system’s communication interface and FlowWeb control software.  The FlowWeb software simultaneously acquires all integrated instrument data and can export the data to any OPC-enabled SCADA system for enhanced process monitoring and control.

The Seg-Flow S3 Automated Sampling system has many benefits:

• Reduces the workload of lab personnel by automatically taking samples – even at night and weekends


• Controls data flow


• Reduces variability of sampling


• Cuts down on potential contamination of samples


• Provides easier data management

The Seg-Flow S3 has all of the great qualities of the 4800 system but has some new features:

• Redesigned chassis to improve ease of use and asthetics


• Built-in Reagent Module allows the sampling of 8 vessels right out of the box and saves room on the bench top


• New LED lights will change color to match status as the Seg-Flow S3 moves through the sampling cycle


• New built-in tubing management channels make tube installation easy and quick and ensures tubing stays in place


• New Graphical User Interface makes the S3 monitoring more intuitive and easy to track progress of the sampling cycle


• Improved peristaltic pump


• Ultrasonic sensors and self-testing pinch valves alerts Users if there is a blocked or misconnected tube


• New Seg-Mod S3 is designed specifically for the Seg-Flow S3 and also include improved tubing management
