BlueSens - Gas Analyser for Bioprocesses
Gas Analyser for Bioprocesses
BlueSens gas sensor GmbH develops and markets process analytical technology (PAT) conform sensors compliant with FDA for many gases like CO2 and O2.
Founded in 2001 as a specialist for gas analysis in bioprocesses, BlueSens is meanwhile the market leader and supplies the sensors worldwide.
The applications stretch from basic research through GMP production. The innovative structure allows using the sensors without having to take samples wherever gas analysis during bioprocesses makes sense.
In-situ gas analysis for process controlling fermentations with CO2 and O2
Simplest installation of the BCP series on fermenters through:
• Direct installation in the exhaust gas line
• No sampling
• No exhaust gas treatment (exhaust gas cooler) necessary
• Minimum maintenance without test gases
• Suitable for every fermenter make
That brings along these benefits:
• Simplest process control
• Increase of reliability and repeatability
• Metabolic flux analysis and mass-balance calculations
The same sensors are also used in the BCpreFerm system, which is used for process optimization (scale up) for flasks up to large-scale fermenters.
The system comprises up to 12 sensors that are linked to a computer via an electronic multiplexer. The related software visualizes the results and can calculate parameters such as the oxygen uptake-rate (OUR), the carbon-dioxide emission rate (CER) and the respiration quotients (RQ) both on fermenters as well as on flasks.
• Visualization of the process
• Increase of reliability and repeatability
• Dedicated process optimization without limitations (e.g. oxygen, nutrients etc.)
• Predictions for the scale up
Yield master – Measure the gas yield and quality in every anaerobic process
The unique structure of the CH4 sensors from BlueSens facilitate measuring methane concentrations in processes that sometimes produce much, sometimes little gas. The use of sample taking is impossible there, so conventional systems fail.
The CH4 sensors are simply screwed onto the fermentation container and measure the methane content directly over the sample. Even at 55°C in water-saturated atmospheres. The accruing volumes are precisely registered via a precision volumenometer (Milligascounter®).
The data are registered online with the corresponding software and visualized on the computer. Optionally, BlueSens can provide everything as accessories; from the stirrer through the incubator.
Additional sensors
To cover as many measurement parameters as possible, BlueSens also offers sensors for:
• Ethanol (C2H6O)
• Hydrogen (H2)
• Carbon monoxide (CO)
• Hydrogen sulfide (H2S)
