Still Using Reusable pH Sensors in Single-Use Applications?

Hamilton OneFerm sensors are the next step in the evolution of single-use measurement. Their design solves some of the issues that commonly occur with reusable pH sensors that are inserted into the bag.

Specifically, Hamilton's single-use pH probes combine the reliability and measurement stability of our long-term proven conventional sensors with the ease of use as an integral part of the bioreactor. The sensors retain the high accuracy performance even after gamma irradiation and a sufficient shelf life making it the ideal single-use solution.

Optical vs. Glass: Which is the Best Technology for Single-Use pH?

The glass pH electrode is widely considered the most robust and reliable device available for pH measurement. Yet, traditional glass sensors are not designed for a single-use environment because they require laborious handling and increased risk of contamination.

While optical technology exists for single-use pH measurement, that technology has not delivered the reliable accuracy that bio-process engineers depend on.

By contrast, Hamilton's single-use OneFerm pH sensors feature the high-accuracy and performance of a traditional glass pH electrode, even after gamma irradiation and dry storage.

How Do I Purchase OneFerm Sensors?

Hamilton single-use sensors are currently only available to integrators such as bag, bioreactor, and downstream skid manufacturers.

  • Bioreactor, bag, and downstream skid manufacturers are encouraged to contact Hamilton to discuss integration opportunities.
  • End-users at biopharmaceutical companies are encouraged to ask their single-use solution provider if Hamilton sensors are available for their installation.
