Seg-Flow® S3G Autosampling System
The Flownamics Seg-Flow® S3G is one of our newest sampling systems utilizing our patented Segmented Sampling Process. The S3G is primarily used for on-line pH and gas analysis when interfaced with an analyzer with BGA functionality. The system is also able to connect to other analyzers such as biochemistry analyzers, cell analyzers, HLPC systems and our Raman IM Module. The Seg-Flow® S3G utilizes a sample fluid path that prevents gases from diffusing out of the fluid, resulting in gas analysis data closely correlating to off-line results. A series of LED status lights indicate the phases of sampling and the sequence of cleaning.
The new Flownamics Seg-Flow S3G user interface offers intuitive menus with live flow path status and reagent-level information. The optional Flownamics Sample-Mod S3® module can be used for sample pre-dilution. The Sample-Mod S3 automatically adds reagents to the native sample and then distributes the sample to up to four analyzers or filling systems. The central Reagent-Manifold on the Seg-Flow cleans and disinfects the sample fluid path. Samples can be stored in Flownmics’ temperature controlled FlowFrac™ 1000 Fraction Collector to maintain sample integrity.

Description
The Seg-Flow® Automated On-line Sampling System provides multiple bioprocess monitoring and control solutions for improving process performance. The Seg-Flow® system’s patented Segmented On-line Sampling technology allows rapid and accurate sampling for 8 vessels or process streams and sample delivery to 4 analyzers and/or fraction collectors. Several feed control options are available with the Seg-Flow® system, which can control 2 pumps per vessel. Existing off-line and at-line analytics are seamlessly integrated into a multi-functional on-line PAT tool through the Seg-Flow® system’s communication interface and FlowWeb™ control software. The FlowWeb™ software simultaneously acquires all integrated instrument data and can export the data to any OPC-enabled SCADA for enhanced process monitoring and control.
