Fast Bioreactor Culture Analytics for Basic ResearchMaximize bioreactor culture viability and product yield with reliable analytics

Did you know that the RAPIDPoint 500e Blood Gas System and epoc Blood Analyzer from Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics can help maximize biomass and product yields by generating fast results for critical analytes in bioreactor cell cultures?

With their small bench space requirements, microliter sample sizes, and delivery of results for multiple parameters in approximately 60 seconds*, the RAPIDPoint 500e System and epoc Analyzer** can help optimize cell culture environment testing right next to your bioreactor, at every stage of bioprocess development.

Designed for Speed, Accuracy, and Scale

Bioprocess development demands rapid insight and minimal disruption. Siemens Healthineers blood analysis systems offer:

  • Fast results for critical analytes in bioreactor cell cultures
  • Small sample volumes with minimal impact on cultures
  • Near‑reactor testing with a small footprint
  • Support for batch and perfusion processes
  • Validation of primary analyzers and in‑line probes
  • Monitoring of metabolites, waste products, and electrolytes
  • Assessment of cellular respiration and feeding strategies

From daily R&D assessments to high‑frequency monitoring in commercial production, these systems can help teams make informed, real‑time process decisions.


 Technicians monitor and document large stainless-steel bioreactors connected by piping in a controlled laboratory environment for cell culture research.

Siemens Healthineers blood analysis systems support test demand as applications scale, from daily assessments of the culture environment during R&D to high-frequency monitoring in commercial production. Immediate results facilitate real-time monitoring and real-time bioprocess adjustments.
