December 14th, 2007 – Finesse Solutions, LLC, Santa Clara, CA, a manufacturer of measurementand control solutions for life sciences process applications, announced the general release of itsTruViu™ RDPD system for biotech R&D and Process Development (PD) applications. The system consists of an I/O tower and a pump tower, with an optional junction box and TruFlow™ gas manifold,namely, all the components required to control a typical R&D or PD bioreactor.

TruViu™ RDPD is designed to be flexible and modular with plug-and-play configuration, in order to maximize ease-of-use, simplify installation, and provide scheduled maintenance. The modular desig nallows TruViu™ RDPD components to be installed on, under, or above the laboratory bench, thereby permitting a significant footprint reduction and greater lab space efficiency.

TruViu™ RDPD brings the benefits of DeltaV reliability and scalability in an affordable package, and interfaces easily with the TruLogic™ Controller and TruBio™ software to deliver optimal bioreactor control.

TruViu™ RDPD also delivers the competitive advantages of increased performance, efficiency and reliability, reduced operating costs and improved ease of use. Finally, TruViu™ RDPD utilizes state of the art transmitters that enable sensor calibration algorithms and full sensor diagnostics.

“Customer response to TruViu™ RDPD has been overwhelming. They love the idea of a standard, configurable product, and now that our reliable hardware has been repackaged into an efficient footprint our biggest issue is keeping up with demand.” Said Alfy Riddle, VP Hardware.
