EnglishWhich Analytical Platforms Can Integrate with Flownamics Sampling Systems?
Updated
Flownamics sampling systems are designed to feed automated, sterile samples into third-party analytical instruments rather than replace them. Based on the company's published integrations, the confirmed platforms are the Agilent 1260 Infinity II Online LC, Sartorius Ambr 250 Modular Vessel A, Raman analyzers, and the Beckman Coulter Vi-CELL BLU. Each integration pairs a Flownamics sampling device (Seg-Flow, Seg-Flow S3, or SampleMod) with the analytical instrument, so the sampler handles withdrawal and transport while the instrument handles measurement.
Confirmed Integrations
| Analytical platform | Flownamics components named | What the integration does |
|---|---|---|
| Agilent 1260 Infinity II Online LC | SegFlow S3 and SampleMod | Combines the Agilent online LC with Flownamics sampling for automated online liquid chromatography |
| Sartorius Ambr 250 Modular Vessel A | Sampling probe | Withdraws sterile, cell-free samples from the Ambr 250 modular vessel |
| Raman platforms | Not specified | Enables a preferred Raman platform to interface with cell-containing and cell-free samples from a bioreactor |
| Beckman Coulter Vi-CELL BLU | Seg-Flow S3 | Creates a fully automated on-line system for cell viability/counting across up to 8 bioreactors |
Flownamics also published a performance evaluation of its sampling devices for the Agilent Online LC, which is the closest thing to third-party validation in the available material.
What Each Integration Is For
Agilent 1260 Infinity II Online LC
This is aimed at teams running online liquid chromatography. The SegFlow S3 and SampleMod combination is described as a new integration, so treat it as a recently released configuration rather than a long-established one. If your workflow already centers on the Agilent 1260 Infinity II Online LC, this is the pairing to ask about first.
Sartorius Ambr 250 Modular Vessel A
The relevant product is a sampling probe that withdraws sterile, cell-free samples. Note the constraint: cell-free. If your Ambr 250 work depends on retaining cells in the sample, this specific probe is not the match.
Raman analyzers
Flownamics states that its system lets a preferred Raman platform interface with both cell-containing and cell-free samples from a bioreactor. The source does not name which Raman vendors or models are supported, so confirm compatibility with Flownamics before assuming your instrument qualifies.
Beckman Coulter Vi-CELL BLU
The Seg-Flow S3 plus Vi-CELL BLU integration automates cell viability and counting for up to 8 bioreactors. The "up to 8" figure is the key planning number — it defines the scale this configuration is built for.
How to Decide
- Running online LC? Ask about the Agilent 1260 Infinity II Online LC configuration with SegFlow S3 and SampleMod.
- Using Ambr 250 Modular Vessel A? The sampling probe is the relevant option, but only if cell-free samples suit your assay.
- Using Raman? Integration is supported in principle for cell-containing and cell-free samples, but the platform list is unspecified — verify your specific instrument.
- Need automated viability/counting at scale? The Vi-CELL BLU integration covers up to 8 bioreactors via Seg-Flow S3.
A Practical Caveat
The available material names these integrations but does not publish pricing, licensing terms, or a complete compatibility matrix. Before committing, confirm three things with Flownamics directly: whether your exact instrument model is supported, what the sampler-to-instrument interface requires, and whether the configuration is shipping or still in evaluation. The company offers a virtual demo and a contact channel for exactly this kind of pre-purchase check.
