Monitoring Process Parameters

Sartorius Stedim’s Sensolux stand-alone version is a shaker platform equipped with an optical sensor system for monitoring pH and dissolved oxygen (DO) saturation during cultivation of animal cells. This first member of the product family is an attractive tool for obtaining conclusive results in the early process development phase, e.g., for advanced clone screening and media optimization.

Used in combination with the single-use Erlenmeyer flasks Sensolux EF, the shaker platform facilitates easy, non-invasive, reliable and highly informative online measurement of these crucial process parameters in incubation shakers.

For this purpose, the flasks are equipped with two pre-calibrated sensor patches. In total, nine measurement points for both pH and DO are integrated into the shaker tray that has a compact footprint of 420 mm x 420 mm and is compatible with a broad range of standard incubation shakers, including the manufacturer’s Certomat shaker range.
