SciVario® twin
Product Information
The SciVario twin is a bench-scale parallel bioprocess controller capable of operating two bioreactors individually. It is suitable for cell culture and fermentation applications in R&D and can be used with glass and BioBLU® Single-Use Bioreactors. The SciVario twin is a modular system, making it customizable as well as easily upgradable after installation and therefore adaptable to changing requirements.You will find additional download material at the bottom of this page

Product Information
The SciVario twin keeps you flexible, wherever your research focus will take you in the future. The future-proof systems can adapt to changing requirements and like this reduce future capital investment.
• Run both microbial and cell culture processes without any hardware adaptations.
• Choose from a wide variety of glass and BioBLU Single-Use Bioreactors, with working volumes from 1.25 to 3.8 L for all and up to 40 L for single-use cell culture bioreactors.
• Upgrade the system’s hardware easily.
• Expand its capabilities: Integrate the SciVario twin with the DASware® software suite and BioNsight® cloud for advanced process control, and remote process monitoring and data analysis, respectively. Integrate it with the Bioprocess Autosampler for automated sampling 24/7.
Stay flexible with the future proof bay drawer concept
• Eight bays can be equipped with different pumps or other modules.
• The system can be initially delivered with custom configurations and easily upgraded with additional modules to support the changing needs in R&D.
• This concept supports you as a user to avoid additional capital investments into instruments to match future requirements.
Individually control two bioreactors in parallel
• With the SciVario twin you can run one bioreactor or two bioreactors in parallel.
• The two bioreactors can be controlled individually in any combination of vessel type and working volume.
• Parallel processing allows for more runs in less time.
Optimize your workspace
• The compact design of the SciVario twin frees up bench space.
• The device can be easily moved for cleaning and servicing.
• You can easily access often used connectors/accessories, as they are placed on the front.
• Cable management guides and a storage system for accessories let you keep your bench clean and tidy.
Stay flexible in your process control
• The SciVario twin can be connected with digital and analog sensors and detects them automatically.
• The SciVario twin allows for optical pH measurement.
• Be flexible in your gassing strategy by choosing between submerged and overlay gassing with four gases with individual wide-range TMFCs.
• Flexibly add liquids with up to eight pumps per bioreactor. A wide pump flow rate enables the precise additions of small volumes as well as bigger additions to larger vessels.
• You can flexibly select the required pumps and exchange them after purchase.
• The SciVario twin is compatible with the Bioprocess Autosampler for automated sampling and bolus addition.
Software: Combine ease of use and high performance
• All critical process parameters such as temperature, gassing, pH, feeding, and others can be controlled and recorded by the base unit.
• An intuitive user interface and guided workflows assist you through your process to avoid errors.
• The integration with DASware® control offers advanced functionality, like the execution of feed profiles and scripts, process automation, and the integration of 3rd party sensors.
• The connection to BioNsight® cloud software enables remote monitoring and advanced data analysis.
