Monitor fermentation in realtime with this probe

| By Chemical Engineering

Developed in collaboration with the Center for Process Innovation (Wilton, U.K.), the Insertion Probe variant of this firm’s SpectroSens system enables realtime monitoring of bioproduction fermentation processes. The multi-output SpectroSens Insertion Probe (photo) tracks compositional changes and monitors temperature in the liquid. Multiple discrete readings can be taken simultaneously at numerous locations, providing more reliable measurements and a reduced chance of false positives. Using only light at the point of measurement, the sensors are intrinsically safe and spark-free. — Stratophase, Romsey, U.K.
