DOTS is coming to Cell Culture! January 2025 - Subscribe to our Newsletter for Updates

Overview

Effortlessly manage multiple data sets and process parameters with the DOTS Software for streamlined bioprocess control. Whether it's real-time monitoring of various process parameters via the Multiparameter Sensor (MPS) or the customization of feeding profiles to be carried out with the Liquid Injection System (LIS) for your shake flask process, our software offers intuitive tools. Benefit from comprehensive visualization and analysis capabilities, empowering a deeper understanding and refined control of your bioprocess operations.

  • Compatible with sbi’s complete portfolio of sensors and actuators
  • Quick-start application templates for the most used experiment conditions
  • Custom application templates for your individual sensing and control needs
  • Innovative applications: Dissolved oxygen-based or biomass-based feeding in shake flasks
  • Effortless data visualization and analysis of Critical Process Parameters (CPPs) in real-time
  • Easy Excel export

What Our Customers Are Saying

"By using the quick-start templates in the DOTS Software, I could setup my sensors very quickly and easily. Overall, this made my experiments significantly faster."

-Christoph Kutzner (Badische Peptide & Proteine, Heidelberg)
LOGO_BPP
"Just having to explain one software for multiple purposes to new students, instead of many softwares with sometimes very different features, makes our lives easier and allows the students to use their limited time in the lab more efficient."

-Patrick Hanisch (University of Applied Sciences Munich)

Software: Perpetual vs Subscription

At our core, we prioritize our customers' needs, understanding that preferences vary. That's why we let you decide: Select the perpetual model for complete ownership without recurring costs, or opt for the subscription-based licenses for unmatched flexibility and lower upfront expenses. Your choice, your software journey.

Annual Subscription

Subscribe to the Software Application Licenses that fit your needs and flexibly opt in or out, according to your project plans

 

  • Yearly renewal period
  • Includes access to the latest version of DOTS Software
  • Includes the latest versions and improvements
  • Lower upfront cost

“Incorporating SBI’s pH and DO flow cells into our system removed the need for manual sampling, saving us time, reducing the risk of contamination, and providing information on how the cells are growing even when we are not in the lab. With availability of this more detailed view of our culture, we can make informed improvements to our cell expansion process.”
