MatrikonOPC Selected to Provide Data Connectivity for the Nova BioProfile® FLEX Analyzer

 

EDMONTON, Alberta, May 20 –MatrikonOPC™ is proud to announce that it was selected by Nova Biomedical to provide OPC data connectivity to the BioProfile® FLEX analyzer.  By design, the BioProfile FLEX was constructed to facilitate the sharing of data between other devices.  Embedding MatrikonOPC technology within the BioProfile FLEX analyzer itself provides users with access to the most trusted OPC connectivity in the world today.

BioProfile FLEX reduces cell culture analysis time, labor, and operating costs by consolidating chemistry/gases/electrolytes, cell density/viability, and osmolality into a single, easy to use workstation.  “With those characteristics in mind, we are fortunate to partner with an organization like MatrikonOPC that has been the leader in the field of providing reliable connectivity for the process control industry for over two decades”, says Lyle Peshek, National Sales Manager for the Biotechnology Division at Nova Biomedical.

This partnership also produced the BioProfile FLEX OPC Connectivity Suite.  The Suite maximizes the robustness and flexibility of OPC by providing users with total data connectivity right at their fingertips.  The Suite provides all the tools needed to securely transfer real-time and historical data, as well as store and export data directly into Microsoft Excel.
