908 Devices announced the launch of MAVEN, a device for on-line monitoring and control of glucose and lactate in cell culture and fermentation processes. MAVEN empowers biopharma companies to make timely decisions based on highly sensitive, real-time measurements. Taking measurements as frequently as every two minutes, MAVEN operates without having to manually draw samples out of the bioreactor due to its novel aseptic sampling approach. "As more advanced therapies enter the pipeline there is an increasing need for simple, automated on-line devices like MAVEN for measuring and monitoring process and product attributes," said Dr. Kevin Knopp, CEO and co-founder, 908 Devices. "MAVEN’s incorporated aseptic sampling probe serves as an interface for future on-line analyzers as we broaden our bioanalytics platform and develop an ecosystem of connected, on-line tools."
