MA–Nova Biomedical is pleased to announce the launch of BioProfile FAST CDVTM, a high-throughput, fully automated viable cell density and viability analyzer capable of producing results in under 70 seconds with just 100uL of sample volume. In addition, it performs all sample dilutions internally, enabling cell culture samples up to 140e6c/mL to be analyzed without any external sample dilution. Cell culture samples can be analyzed via the external 36-position load-and-go tray or via an innovative 96-well plate option.
The software is extremely easy to use thanks to the built-in touchscreen display and intuitive icon-based navigation. All aspects of the software and networking capabilities are 21 CFR Part 11 compliant and have also been designed to meet the FDA’s new cybersecurity guidelines. The analyzer has multiple networking options including OPC and BioProfile Data Manager as well as the ability to transmit images.
FAST CDV utilizes trypan blue dye exclusion methodology for the determination of live and dead cells and uses the industry’s highest resolution camera and optics coupled with the most advanced algorithms to provide the most accurate cell density and cell viability measurements. It also integrates seamlessly into existing process development, pilot, and manufacturing laboratories where the BioProfile FLEX2 is currently being used. The FAST CDV algorithms align with the FLEX2 algorithms to assure correlation with the FLEX2 CDV module.
“We at Nova Biomedical are excited to launch the next addition to the BioProfile platform with the FAST CDV Analyzer. Nova’s commitment to bringing advanced technology analyzers to our worldwide biotechnology customers is evident in our new analyzer. The FAST CDV is a significant advance in automated cell density analyzers and breaks the boundaries of existing technologies. It will enable even faster evaluation of cell lines and physicochemical parameter optimization, ultimately bringing products to market faster,” said Matt McRae, Biotechnology Sales Product Line Manager at Nova.
