Flownamics developed the FISP sampling probe in 1996. The FISP sampling probe is capable of withdrawing sterile, cell-free samples from fermenters and bioreactors. FISP allows direct on-line sample transfer to a variety of sampling systems (Seg-Flow), analyzers (such as biochemistry and HPLC systems) and fraction collectors for off-line analysis. FISP is constructed of 316 stainless steel and fitted with a tubular, micro-porous membrane. The probes come in a variety of sizes (6, 12, 19 and 25 mm ports) to accommodate laboratory, pilot or industrial scale vessels. FISP has been and continues to be widely utilized in the biotechnology and bioprocess industries for fermentation and cell-culture since its introduction to the market.

FISP probes can be used for submerged feeding/sterile media addition

• Fast & Easy Setup: Removes the autoclaving reagents step in the process
• Eliminates risk of exposure to hazardous, volatile substances
• 0.2u ceramic membrane provides sterile barrier
