The role of connectivity and IT security Vi-CELL BLU Analyzer
In this session, our Product Manager Daniel Koeffers and Senior IT Specialist Sören Kromrey will present how the Vi-CELL BLU analyzer can be integrated into Sartorius Ambr®250 High Throughput Bioreactor and Ambr®15 Cell Culture systems, and the Seg-Flow S3 from Flownamics, enabling fully automated monitoring of multiple bioreactors. This automation will align with the goals of Bioprocessing 4.0 by reducing the need for skilled operators, making manual tasks more efficient, and allowing scientists to monitor and manage processes in real-time—even from remote locations.
Additionally, Dr. Anne-Kathrin Barthel and Sören Kromrey will explore how the Vi-CELL BLU cell viability analyzer from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences can support the transition to Bioprocessing 4.0—the biopharmaceutical counterpart of Industry 4.0. The discussion will highlight the system’s robust data storage using a PostgreSQL database, known for reliability and high-performance queries, and how measurement data can be transferred to customer networks through familiar methods like network drives, with options for automatic export in various formats. Addressing network integration concerns, the session will detail how the Vi-CELL BLU analyzer can authenticate users and transfer data with minimal firewall configuration, even without direct Active Directory domain integration. The exploration will cover offline data evaluation, allowing users to export data as ZIP files for analysis on any Windows 10 64-bit computer, with automated export options available.
