VisiFerm SU RS485-ECS Details

Hamilton's proven optical dissolved oxygen technology, available in a single-use format, minimizes contamination and leakage risks.

The VisiFerm Single-Use (SU) offers this technology specifically for single-use applications and is intended for use with the dedicated ODO Cap Sx sensor elements to measure dissolved oxygen. Because the reusable VisiFerm SU is not in contact with media, there is no need for sterilization. This design allows you to save space by eliminating the need for controllers or transmitters and to effortlessly integrate these single-use optical DO sensors with various bioreactor control systems.

The VisiFerm SU, together with the ODO Cap Sx sensor element, provides a standard analog (ECS or 4-20mA) interface and a digital Modbus interface. Additionally, it can be connected and calibrated with traditional transmitters.

Common applications Pharma & Biopharma, Bioprocess Upstream, Biotechnology

Reduce contamination risk with optical DO technology

Arc Sensors - Signal Averaging

Certain applications may introduce conditions that create fluctuating or "noisy" measurements. The noisy measurement can make process control challenging. One way to improve signal stability is to adjust the moving average setting using ArcAir software.

FAQ

Does salinity impact my DO measurement?

Yes, salinity of a solution generally has an inverse relationship to the dissolved oxygen content within the solution. Arc sensors can have the salinity value of the liquid added in to correct the measurement by using ArcAir.
