Integrated Controller

The WavePOD (Wave Biotech LLC) integrates all instrumentation associated with the Wave Bioreactor: dissolved oxygen, pH, and CO₂/O₂ gas mixing controls. The four instruments, previously available as separate controllers, are combined in a single, compact device. The device connects via digital link to a Wave Bioreactor BASE. A color touch screen provides access to all parameters, including data from the bioreactor. Integrating all the controls makes it possible to develop complex control schemes such as dissolved oxygen control by automatically varying rocker speed or oxygen concentration supplied to the Cellbag. The WavePOD and Wave Bioreactor form a control cluster that can be accessed remotely over the built-in Ethernet interface for remote data acquisition and supervisory control. The WavePOD is designed for use with the Wave Bioreactor System2/10EH and System20/50EHT series. Multiple POD configurations are available to meet individual needs for insect cell, mammalian cell, perfusion or cell therapy applications. PODs are available with left- or right-facing probe connections.
