Scientific Industries launches expansion of DOTS Platform

Scientific Industries announced the launch of the expansion of its DOTS Platform with the new MPS reader and DO Sensor Pills. Building on the success of last year’s launch of the DOTS Software as the first product within the DOTS Platform, DOTS now offers an expanded suite of sensors for shake flask bioprocessing, turning the humble shake flask into a smart mini bioreactor. The MPS together with the DO Sensor Pills, represent a revolutionary new type of chemosensor technology for bioprocessing. The MPS, which is the core of the DOTS Platform, is positioned underneath the shake flask, from where it enables the simultaneous monitoring of multiple critical parameters like biomass or fluorescence. The patented DO Sensor Pills, which are much easier to use than standard probes or sensor spots, are proprietary single-use chemosensors designed to be easily dropped into the culture, where they circulate and interact with the media. The MPS reads out the DO signal, allowing for online dissolved oxygen monitoring in real-time.
