About HiTec Zang
HITEC ZANG has established itself as a leading provider of laboratory reactor solutions, with a focus on chemical process engineering. However, particularly in the field of biotechnology, the company offers a product range that is of crucial importance for microbiologists and bioprocess engineers. HITEC ZANG enables the automation and high-precision analysis of complex bioprocesses, from basic research to process optimization.
A centerpiece of the HITEC ZANG biotech portfolio is the RAMOS system (Respiration Activity MOnitoring System). Among experts, this system is considered the gold standard for the online determination of the respiration activity of microbiological and cell cultures in shake flasks. The development of the RAMOS principle took place in close cooperation with RWTH Aachen University and enables researchers to perform precise online measurements of the oxygen transfer rate (OTR) and the carbon dioxide transfer rate (CTR) in shake flasks – without disturbing the culture process. This provides essential kinetic data that goes far beyond what conventional offline measurements or simple pH measurements can achieve.
The RAMOS system has a modular design and can be adapted to various research requirements through specific extensions:
The Cultilux is designed for the cultivation of phototrophic organisms (e.g. algae or cyanobacteria). It integrates precise light control into the shake flask system in order to optimally control light as a critical parameter in bioprocess management and to investigate photosynthetic performance in combination with respiration activity.
For fully automated fed-batch operation in shake flasks, the fed-batch module offers the possibility of supplying nutrients in a precise and time-controlled manner. This is essential for optimizing productivity in microbiological processes in which substrate limitation or inhibition must be avoided.
In addition to the RAMOS system, HITEC ZANG offers other products that enable fully automated research in the biotech sector:
The HiSense is a high-precision exhaust gas analysis system specifically developed for monitoring microbiological processes and cell cultures. It provides accurate data on the composition of the bioreactor's exhaust air and is thus a key tool for mass balancing and the calculation of physiological parameters.
The Gmix is a flexible gas mixing system originally developed for use within bioprocesses with prokaryotic and eukaryotic cultures. Due to its modular design, it is now also frequently used in adjacent areas such as chemistry, sensor calibration, physical engineering, and trace gas analysis. It enables the precise and dynamic adjustment of the gas composition for the culture media.
With the OmniFerm research bioreactors, all components can be connected with each other thanks to the highly flexible LabVision research process control system, and even very complex processes can be easily automated.
In summary, HITEC ZANG offers an integrated platform that enables researchers to achieve maximum significance and reproducibility in their bioprocesses. From the precise determination of respiration activity to fully automated process control, the company supports research in the field of biotechnology and cell culture technology.
