GlucoSense Sensor Details
The Hamilton GlucoSense Sensor revolutionizes glucose monitoring in biopharma R&D by providing accurate, real-time, and in-situ measurements directly within your bioreactor. Traditional methods often fall short, requiring frequent manual intervention, complex calibrations, or specialized expertise that slows down process development. GlucoSense overcomes these limitations with its pioneering optical technology, delivering immediate and reliable data from day one, without the need for extensive MVDA calibration or cumbersome fiber-optic systems.
This robust sensor is fiber-optic free and proven compatible with numerous autoclavation and CIP cycles, ensuring durability and consistent performance. Its small-footprint design and PG 13.5 compatibility allow for seamless integration into existing bioreactor setups, eliminating the need for bulky external spectrometers. With a built-in Arc micro-transmitter supporting Modbus RS485 communication, GlucoSense simplifies data integration, enabling you to optimize mammalian cell culture conditions and accelerate your bioprocess development with confidence.
