Fermentation Software
FNet is a software for monitoring fermentation and cell culture processes with the LAMBDA MINIFOR laboratory fermenter. Runs under Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista, 7 and 8.
All the information (actual values, set points, graphs, alarms) of the fermenter is presented in the main window :
- Actual values like temperature, pH, pO2, air flow rate, amount of base and acid, and an additional parameter X which could be for example the culture weight for continuous processes, optical density or an online biomass concentration measurement.
- Set point values like temperature, pH, pO2, air flow rate, agitation, another parameter X and one feed with a peristaltic pump
- Scalable graphs: The user can choose the fermenter parameters he wants to display in function of time
- Ruler to read values on the graphs
Process control:
- Remote control of the fermenter, all the set point values can only be changed from the PC
- Possibility to know the amount of base and acid added into the fermenter
- Profiles on all the set points like temperature, pH, pO2, air flow rate, agitation, parameter X or feed with a peristaltic pump (figure 3)
- Alarm management: The user can activate alarms for temperature, pH, pO2, air flow rate, agitation, parameter X.
- The program shows when an alarm has occurred.
