4 Bioreactors Type DasGip with autosampler and upgrading 2 DasGip

To coordinate with existing equipment, the Human Health Therapeutics Research Center of the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) requires additional purchase of 4-vessel DASgip Bioreactor model SR 1500ODLS, including process computer for small scale systems, including operation system (OS) software, DASware® control 6 with licenses, and PC hardware interface and boxes to connect to the existing master controller for increasing the capacity of parallel experiments to 12 vessels. The HHT must acquire an automated sampler with compatible designed for DASgip type bioreactors model SR 1500ODLS with 4 vessels. The Bioreactor and autosampler must communicate directly with each other for operation, programming and automatic sample planning during fermentations. Therefore, the autosampler must operate under the same operation system (OS) software, DASware® control 6 with is license due to compatibility. Finally, NRC must upgrade the existing 2 DASGip to ensure proper operation. Two process computers for small scale systems, including operation system (OS) software, DASware® control 6 with licenses, and PC hardware must be purchased to upgrade to DASware 6 software. The existing computers needs to be replaced, therefore both systems will be upgraded from DASware® control 5 to 6. The equipment that NRC desire to acquire must include the following component: • 4-vessel DASgip Bioreactor model SR 1500ODLS and its interface boxes. • Upgrade of the main operation system (OS) software, DASware® control 6. • Upgrade of the main operating system of the existing 2 DASgips under operation system (OS) software, DASware® control 6. • Addition of an automatic sampler for 4 vessels communicating with the operation system (OS) software, DASware® control 6. • Upgrade the main operating system for the bioprocess autosampler.
