MAIN FUNCTION „BATCH CONTROL“ 

7.1 General 

The main function „Batch control“ is used for supervisory functions for process control and running of 
automatic processes (such as a „sterilization program“, for instance). You can select the following 
functions via a corresponding selection menu: 

Selection Menu „Batch Control“: 

 

7.2 Sequences 

The DCU3 - system can store up to 24 sequences which can be configured according to the type and 
specifications of the fermentor system. The programs can consider, for instance, empty vessel sterili-
zation, medium sterilization, sterilization of transfer installations, intermediate sterilization for air inlet 
filter and for exhaust filter, etc. The structure of sterilization programs, such as step change conditions 
for single steps and process outputs during the steps, can be adapted to different requirements. 

 

Detailed descriptions of sequences, such as the sterilization of the culture vessel or of pe-
ripheral equipment can either be supplied in the supplement of this manual, in the configura-
tion documentation of the delivered DCU3 - system or in other documentation delivered ex-
tra with the fermentor system. 

Note: For fermentor systems with autoclaveable culture vessels and peripherals (such as 

the BIOSTAT

®

 B-DCU,  BIOSTAT

®

 MD,  BIOSTAT

®

 BF  or  BIOSTAT

®

 Q, for instance) 

no sterilization function is available.
