Flownamics Automated Sampling Systems
Reliable automation of sampling
How can you automate bioreactor sampling without risking contamination or data inconsistency?
Flownamics sampling systems delivers fully automated, scheduled sampling with seamless integration to analytical tools enabling accurate, real-time process insights.
Seg-Flow PS
Compact, modular design with scalable parallel sampling
The Seg‑Flow PS is a small benchtop unit that can operate independently or be multiplexed
Low-shear sampling ideal for sensitive cell cultures
Uses a low-shear sampling method and syringe-based technology to protect delicate samples (e.g., cell & gene therapy).
Closed, fully disposable fluid path for sterility
Operates as a closed system with disposable tubing, reducing cross-contamination risk.
Automated sample transfer & integration with analytics
Can transport samples up to ~50 ft and send them directly to analysers or central labs.
Acquire
Integrated fraction collector for automated sample storage
The Acquire is the first automated sampler with a fully integrated fraction collector, sending samples directly into vials or well plates
Compact, economical “plug-and-play” design
Designed as a small-footprint, cost-effective autosampler that is easy to set up and run.
Maintains sample quality with cooling and minimal loss
Offers temperature-controlled storage (≈20°C down to −10°C) to preserve samples immediately after collection.
Flexible, automated workflow with remote monitoring
Supports remote control and monitoring via web interface or OPC
Seg-Flow S3
Reduces manual workload and human error
System automatically collects samples at predefined times, eliminating manual intervention and significantly reducing operator-related errors
Improves accuracy and consistency of sampling
Automated sampling removes variability in time, volume, and dilution that is common with manual methods
Reduces contamination risk and maintains sample integrity
Samples are taken in a controlled, closed system and can be stored at controlled temperatures immediately.
Enables real-time monitoring and integration with analytical tools
The system integrates with multiple analysers (e.g., cell, biochemistry, HPLC) and software for continuous data collection.
Director FF
Centralised control of sampling workflows
Single control platform to manage and coordinate multiple sampling points and processes. Simplifies complex operations and gives users full visibility and control across the entire sampling workflow.
Advanced scheduling & programmable sampling
Fully programmable sampling sequences (time-based, event-based, or conditional triggers). Ensures samples are taken exactly when needed, improving process insight and reducing missed critical data points.
Scalable and networkable architecture
Can be expanded to support multiple units, processes, or facility-wide deployment. Future-proofs investment and allows systems to grow with production or R&D needs without replacing infrastructure.
Data traceability & compliance support
Provides structured data logging, traceability, and compatibility with regulated environments. Supports GMP/regulated workflows by improving audit readiness, documentation, and data integrity.
Flownamics is a biotechnology company focused on automated sampling and fluid‑handling solutions for optimising bioreactor and fermentation processes.
Its Seg‑Flow S3, Seg‑Flow PS and Acquire systems use patented sampling technology to deliver accurate, sterile samples and integrate with analytical tools. The Director FF is a fully automated, fast‑flow liquid handling system designed to deliver rapid, high‑volume sample routing with enhanced throughput and minimal delay. Together, these systems reduce manual work, improve data consistency, and enable better real‑time process control.
Applications of the Flownamics automated sampling systems
Automated sampling from lab to production-scale bioreactors for tracking growth, nutrients, and metabolites.
Integration with analytical instruments (e.g., HPLC, cell counters) to support continuous monitoring and optimisation.
Ideal for sensitive applications like cell and gene therapy, where low-shear, sterile sampling is critical.
Automated collection into vials or plates, with optional cooling for later analysis or archiving.
Parallel bioreactor sampling and consistent data collection to accelerate R&D and improve scalability.
