Dissolved CO2 sensor’s for on-line measurements
Dissolved carbon dioxide (DCO2) is a critical process parameter in biopharma production processes. At last the CarbonDioxide measurements in fluids is now easy combining the pre-installed CO2Well and the latest Solid State CO2NTROL sensor from Hamilton. By influencing other parameters such as extracellular and intracellular pH, it has an effect on different metabolic pathways which are involved in cell growth or in product formation and quality.
Conclusion – sinse summer 2022 we introduce SolidState CO2 RUS to be inserted non-invasive into the CO2Well. Cannot be simpler and easier.
Re-Usable-Sensor (RUS) in PG13.5 x 12 mm format manufactured by Hamilton and named CO2NTROL. The user inserts the RUS into the pre-installed CO2Well - that's it !! NO autoclave is needed – no hood is needed.
CO2 molecules diffuse into a gas permeable membrane where the sensor measures the absorption of CO2-specific MID IR wavelengths. This absorption correlates to the partial pressure of CO2 in the media.
The new CO2NTROL will seal against and exchange gas though the silicone membrane.
How to do
Grab your new CO2NTROL sensor, connect cabling to Cronus-PCS amplifier Sipylus and inform Sipylus about the new sensor. Insert the sensor non autoclaved into the non-invasive CO2Well…. That’s it !
