Bioreactors: Yield optimizations thanks to sensors
The development of pharmaceutical and medical products such as vaccines require highly precise instruments.
Different parameters for different types of cells
For cell lines to grow optimally and maximize production yield, parameters must be properly adjusted and monitored: pH, temperature, humidity, gas and liquid concentration, and gas and liquid flows.
High precision and detection of failures
Sensors for parameter monitoring are important to achieve high precision and detect failures. If an unwanted value is detected, the sensor triggers an alarm and blocks the bioreactor before damage occurs and expensive materials are wasted.
Real-time monitoring and fast measurement reaction time
Real-time monitoring and control of the parameters enables high versatility and repeatability of the bioreactors. A fast measurement reaction time is required to control the set points.
Data logger for additional control and safety
Data loggers are used to store measured parameters. In case of unexpected results, they can be checked again. For safety and research purposes, it is very valuable to have access to the "history".
