Optek Turbidity Sensors

The Optek-ASD sensors are mounted in a port (12 mm or 25 mm) on the top plate of the vessel. Using the NIR absorption the sensors provide data on the growth of microorganisms and cell cultures.

Features:
• Ideal for scale-up processes
• Path length suitable for high-density microbial applications and low-density cell cultures alike
• Control based on results (i.e., induction of a specific cell density, etc.)
• Easy to create complex feeding profiles based on biomass development
• Compare growth curves from different batches quickly
• Comprehensive documentation of data gathered
• Clear, comprehensive documentation for the data acquired
• Soft sensor for correlating measured values with parameters such as OD or dry biomass
• Compact, robust design with a measurement segment optimized for flow and sterilization technologies
• All components in contact with media are made of electropolished stainless steel
