Abstract

A general approach is described for the implementation of a networked multi-unit computer integrated control system. The use of data acquisition hardware and graphical programming tools alleviates tedious programming and maintains potency and flexibility. One application of the control system, the control of a mammalian cell perfusion culture based on a key nutrient glucose concentration, was demonstrated. The control system offers customized user interface for all process control parameters and allows the flexibility for continued improvement and implementation of new tailored functions. The temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and glucose level were accurately controlled.
