BioXpert Software

BioXpert is a software tool to control bio-processes and to store the process data.

The software is designed specifically for biotech researchers and operators in the production environment. The logical structure of the program and the user-friendly interface allows the program to be used by anyone. That is why over 1,000 packages of our BioXpert software are in use worldwide. The software is easy to operate and has extensive functionality for monitoring, collecting and storing data and controlling processes.This allows any bioprocess to be easily optimised and controlled using Applikon software.

Various BioXpert versions have been developed based on international standards for use in either research and pilot plant or production environments. BioXpert Lite is designed for data collection, data storage and data presentation. The research version (BioXpert 2) offers maximum flexibility to set up and to modify processes. The pilot plant and production version (BioXpert XP) focuses on process repeatability and data security.

The most recent release BioXpert W7 allows the user to operate the bioreactor systems in compliance with the FDA’s 21 CFR part 11 guidelines. Via web browser technology the BioXpert W7 data is accessable throughout a network using Remote Access. To create process reports in compliance with 21 CFR part 11 BioXpert W7 uses a separate Report Generator.

BioXpert is installed on a PC that can be part of a local network. Data from sensors and actuators is read by the software from the local controllers and stored in the database. The data can be used for advanced process control in BioXpert .

Applications

BioXpert seamlessly integrates with Applikon and other makes of controllers and peripheral equipment to enable you to get the maximum out of your cultivation system. Pre-defined recipes exist for microbial culture, mammalian cell culture and plant cell culture. All process data and controller data can be stored at user-defined intervals.

Off-line measurements can be added to the process data to be used for calculations or advanced process control. BioXpert offers different ways of presenting your measured data trend graph, table and bargraph presentation.

The on-line calculations of BioXpert can be used to calculate derived variables. The statement editor and interpreter allow time and/or event based execution of advanced control strategies. Another option for supervisory control is the use of timed profiles.

Remote Access for BioXpert XP makes process data accessible for monitoring throughout a network using web browser technology.
