Measurements of dissolved oxygen (DO₂) in biotechnological processes is a basis for process optimization and maximization of the product yield. A microorganism or cell responds to the oxygen concentration in regulating its overall metabolism. Therefore, knowledge of the DO₂ concentration and its proper control during the process are of great importance. The AppliSens DO₂-sensor is specifically designed for long-term, stable and accurate measurements in bioprocesses.
The DO₂-sensor has a titanium membrane module to minimize the measurement drift. The autoclavable polarization module allows polarizing of your DO₂-sensor while autoclaving your bioreactor system, resulting in a reduced start-up time of your cultivation.
