Information

Information

Hygienic NIR absorption measurement in fermentation and crystallization applications

The OUSBT66 sensor measures the cell density, biomass and suspended solids in life sciences applications, such as:

Cell growth in bacterial fermentation

Mammalian cell culture applications

Biomass during fermentation processes

Monitoring of algae concentration

Monitoring of crystallization processes

Suspended solids measurement

OUSBT66 is suitable for laboratory, pilot scale and production fermenters and bioreactors.

Real-time measurement for optimized processes and product yields

Reliable, precise measured values with excellent laboratory correlation

Easy verification and calibration with NIST-traceable clip-on filters - no need for complex liquid calibrations

Hygienic stainless steel body and sapphire windows without seals or crevices

Suitable for CIP/SIP and autoclaving

Various path lengths and sensor lengths for perfect fit into every fermenter and bioreactor

PG 13.5 thread for standard assemblies or head plate installations
