Finesse® Solutions Introduces SmartGlass™ 15L Vessel

15L Vessel Completes the SmartGlass Bioreactor Line for Cell Culture and Fermentation

SANTA CLARA, California, Oct. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Finesse Solutions, Inc., a manufacturer of measurement and control solutions for life sciences process applications, announced the extension of its new SmartGlass™ autoclavable glass bioreactors to include 15L vessels for upstream cell culture and fermentation. The new product family of Finesse bioreactors (1L, 3L, 7L and 15L total volume) is designed to optimize yield in both R&D and cGMP applications.

SmartGlass vessels enable easier handling and faster assembly/disassembly for cleaning. They are designed to be fully hygienic to ensure complete process sterility and minimize lost batches. The vessels are manufactured with the highest standards for surface finish and operation safety.

"We have scaled the 7L vessel to optimize the SmartGlass platform for both process scale-up and small volume manufacturing applications," said Dr. Barbara Paldus, CEO and co-founder of Finesse Solutions. "For example, our cold finger design continues to enable efficient thermal control with increased cooling capacity for a 10L process volume."

The SmartGlass vessels are fully compatible with all Finesse G3Lab™ controllers or can be fitted with a Finesse SmartAdapter to use third-party controllers.
