Applikon and Emerson partner on V-Control

Applikon Biotechnology and Emerson have launched their new automation solution V-Control for R&D scale bioreactors. It facilitates easy process control and data up-scaling in one platform, and gives those already using the DeltaV DCS at production scale reliable automation scaled to fit the needs of the laboratory environment. V-Control is flexible and completely configurable to specific user situation and requirements. Its seamless technology transfer and scalable data transfer mean optimal bioprocesses with shorter lead times and lower development costs. This new solution can easily be integrated into existing DeltaV networks, allowing easy connection of up to 32 bioreactor systems to form a V-Control network to optimize the total bioprocess. V-Control can be used with DeltaV Batch and Configuration Audit Trail.
Erik Kakes, International Sales & Marketing Director at Applikon Biotechnology, said: “V-Control is the product of a successful collaboration between two major players in the laboratory bioreactor automation market, combining strengths synergistically to provide a highly effective solution for process control and data management, from discovery to production.”
