Conducell 4UPTF VP Details

The Traditional Conducell 4UPTF VP is a 4-pole conductivity sensor engineered for demanding industrial and hygienic applications, offering excellent linearity and precise measurements across a broad conductivity range. Its unique feature lies in the combination of robust Platinum (Pt) electrodes, known for their exceptional long-term stability and corrosion resistance, making it particularly suitable for downstream biopharmaceutical processes, chromatography, and tangential flow filtration. 

Designed for easy integration into various systems, it comes with a VP6 connector and is available with PG13.5, VariVent, or Bioconnect process connections to suit different installation requirements. This FDA-certified sensor addresses the user's need for reliable and accurate conductivity monitoring in critical processes while ensuring compliance through its CIP, SIP, and autoclave compatibility for effective sterilization. Note that this sensor requires pairing with a conductivity transmitter, such as the Hamilton H100, to function.

FAQ

What can I use to clean the conductivity sensor electrodes if fouling occurs?

The metal electrodes of 2 and 4-pole sensors can be cleaned with water and mild detergents and washed with deionized water after cleaning. Care should be taken to not use cleaning agents that can impact the material of the electrodes. Click to reference the knowledgebase article on cleaning for more information.

FAQ

Does the cell constant of my conductivity sensor change over time?

The cell constant of a conductivity sensor may change over time due to corrosion of the electrodes from an aggressive media, or due to fouling of the electrodes. Calibration adjusts the cell constant and can help offset these effects to a certain extent.

FAQ

Does temperature affect conductivity measurement?

Yes, temperature has a direct impact on conductivity. Increasing temperature increases the mobility of ions within a solution and results in higher conductivity measurements. Temperature compensation can be performed using empirically derived temperature coefficients, which may be different for various solutions.
