SCADA Software Upgrade
for Benchtop Bioreactor Systems
From standalone PLC controllers to a centralized platform, the LAB1ST Central SCADA Control System provides integrated process monitoring, multi-vessel parallel control and flexible recipe management for the BR200/BR200e next-generation benchtop bioreactor systems, ensuring GMP-compliant data integrity and enhanced process traceability.
Multi-Vessel Centralized Management
Up to 8 units
Key Features
Multi-Vessel Management
A single SCADA system can simultaneously monitor and control up to 8 bioreactors, enabling one operator to manage an entire parallel experiment or production batch efficiently.
Flexible System Migration
With unlimited recipe storage capacity, the system supports two-way import, export, and backup of recipes and system configurations, allowing rapid process parameter transfer and reuse across batches and equipment.
Remote Control & Visualization
Data exchange between controllers and PCs is achieved through industrial Ethernet, enabling remote operation, centralized monitoring, and real-time data visualization.
Security & Compliance
Multi-level user access control, electronic signatures, audit trails, and alarm management functions provide comprehensive support for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, meeting the regulatory and traceability requirements of the biopharmaceutical industry.
Complete & Traceable Data
Batch data, process trends, and alarm records are centrally stored for easy review and export, creating a complete and traceable batch record.
Build for Growth
The open software architecture allows seamless integration of additional bioreactors, supporting future system expansion and production scale-up.
HMI Touchscreen Interface
A Complete Command Center for Every Run
-
Up to 8 vessels in one screen, each fully independent.
-
Inline Editor and Data Sync controls per vessel.
-
Batch information tracking, including batch name, culture time and recipe progress.
-
Live PV / SV readouts for pH, Temp, DO, Stir with gauge dials.
