● How the ABER biomass monitor works

▶ Real time means real savings

Cells with intact plasma membranes in a fermenter can be considered to act as tiny capacitors under the influence of an electric field. The non-conducting nature of the plasma membrane allows a build up of charge. The resulting capacitance can be measured: it is dependent upon the cell type and is directly proportional to the membrane bound volume of these viable cells. 

▶ A unique range of probes

- Choose from a range of in situ steam sterilisable probes manufactured in robust materials that conform to FDA requirements & USP Class VI. The smooth, annular ring electrode arrangement provides a surface free of areas of entrapment and large EVEN electric field; ideal for many cell culture applications where cells will collect in any well or crevice. For production applications ABER offers a highly robust 25mm probe with flush electrodes- a design that is often used in cGMP bioreactors for cell culture. ABER can also provide probes that can be gamma irradiated for single use bioreactors. Option for a range of probes for single use bioreactors including single use, sterilisable and flow through cell.
