Dissolved carbon dioxide sensors are in-line sensors that continuously monitor dissolved CO2 levels in biopharmaceutical and brewing processes.
For bioprocessing, dissolved CO2 probes allow in situ CO2 monitoring in bioreactors to manage production, assure appropriate scaling up, and maximize yield. In brewing, a dissolved CO2 sensor can check important quality parameters and maintain consistent mouthfeel.
CO2 InPro Sensors
The on-line InPro CO2 probes (models InPro5000i/12/120, InPro5000i/12/220, and InPro5000i/12/320) are sensors with ISM that enable precise measurement and control of dissolved CO2 in biopharmaceutical applications. They are based on the well-known Severinghaus approach to CO2 measurement.
