Lumi – PMax:
Accelerate R&D with True Parallel Bioprocessing
Overview
Value Proposition
The Lumi – PMax is a high-throughput parallel bioreactor system engineered to overcome the limitations of traditional process development. It enables scientists to run, monitor, and analyze up to 32 experiments simultaneously from a single interface, with volume ranges of 250, 500 and 1000 mL, dramatically increasing efficiency and data quality.
Specifically designed for research and process development in small working volumes, the Lumi – PMax allows for the simultaneous calibration, control, and monitoring of multiple vessels from a single interface. This accelerates development, improves reproducibility, and streamlines small-scale experimentation for strain screening and optimization.

LumiWise Advanced Automation & Compliance
LumiWise combines powerful automation, intuitive process control, and regulatory-ready compliance in a single platform. Advanced cascade control enables automatic linking of PID loops, allowing DO to dynamically control agitation, oxygen enrichment, or gas flow. Designed for GMP environments, LumiWise supports 21 CFR Part 11 compliance with electronic records, electronic signatures, audit trails, and role-based access control.
Smarter Automation. Greater Compliance. Better Process Control.
