VisiFerm DO SU Arc Details

The reusable VisiFerm DO SU Arc  serves as a direct interface to process control systems, converting signals from ODO Cap Sx sensors into stable digital signals without needing additional equipment like amplifiers or transmitters. Integrating proven sensor technology into single-use bioreactors or bags meets the requirements of the single-use bioprocessing. 

Pre-installed, pre-calibrated ODO Cap Sx sensor elements eliminate contamination and leakage risks associated with traditional sensors. Gamma sterilized with the single-use container, they offer a safe, reliable solution with sufficient shelf life. Together with reusable VisiFerm DO SU Arc, they provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional sensors. Time consuming polarization, as required by polarographic DO sensors, is not necessary. 

Since VisiFerm DO SU Arc  does not contact the media, gamma or steam sterilization is not needed. The VisiFerm DO SU Arc provides industry-standard digital Modbus RTU signals and an analog signal (4 to 20 mA). 

Common applications Pharma & Biopharma, Bioprocess Downstream, Single-Use Bioprocessing, Bioprocess Upstream, Biotechnology, Agri-Food and Beverage

Reduce costs with reusable sensor design for single-use applications.

Simplify installation with direct mounting into SU bioreactors.

Ensure accurate dissolved oxygen measurements without compromising process integrity.

Reusable Sensor Design

  • Reusable VisiFerm SU reduces long-term costs.
  • Compatible with Hamilton single-use ODO Cap for reliable DO measurement in SU bioreactors and bags

Seamless Integration

  • Mounts directly into SU bioreactors or bags.
  • Easy installation with no additional hardware required.

  • The measurement technology from Hamilton is hard to beat in terms of its measurement accuracy and reliability.

    The measurement technology from Hamilton that is used in our brewery is hard to beat in terms of its measurement accuracy and reliability.
