Bioprocess sensor for accurate measurement

Optimize your bioprocessing with advanced sensors designed to deliver precise measurements critical to maintaining cell productivity and product stability.

The Applikon AppliSens Bioprocess Sensor Suite is designed to provide continuous, precise monitoring of key parameters in bioprocess environments, making it invaluable for pharmaceutical manufacturers and research laboratories. Featuring advanced sensors for dissolved oxygen (DO2), pH, and RedOx, this suite offers long-term stability and low sensitivity to fouling, ensuring accurate measurements even in challenging conditions. The optical DO sensors utilize RedFlash technology for low oxygen concentration accuracy and reduced maintenance needs. Ideal for applications in cell cultures, batch processes, and continuous production, AppliSens sensors support critical production of monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, and biosimilars. With a robust design for repeated sterilization cycles and compatibility with cGMP requirements, this suite integrates seamlessly into your bioprocessing facility, allowing for efficient optimization and control. Additionally, the suite’s compact sensor heads and standardized connectors facilitate easy setup and interchange with existing bioreactor systems.
