CG Series Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Sensors/Flow Meters for Biopharmaceutical

In biopharmaceutical production, efficiently managing bio-liquids, such as nutrient media, into and out bioreactors is essential for maintaining optimal system performance.

The CG series clamp-on ultrasonic flow sensors/flow meters provide the biopharmaceutical industry with a non-invasive solution for verifying the performance of fluid pumps in the bioprocessing systems, monitoring pipeline integrity, and facilitating automated, intelligent bio-production management.

CG series clamp-on ultrasonic flow sensors/flow meters do not directly contact the fluid being measured, allowing for repeated use without costly disinfection or gamma irradiation.

The non-invasive design makes them especially suitable for high-sanitization environments, such as single-use biopharmaceutical systems.

Featuring a compact design, the CG series clamp-on ultrasonic flow sensors/flow meters can be easily clamped onto flexible plastic tubing. They enable accurate and reliable measurement of bio-liquid without interrupting the existing setup.

Industry Challenges

Contamination

Maintaining hygiene and sterility is critical in biopharmaceutical production. Any contaminants introduced during measurement can compromise product quality. The bio-media flow rate measurement meter need to be non-invasive and easy to clean or sterilize to avoid direct contact with the measured liquids.

01
Flow Rates

Flow rates can vary significantly due to changes in production cycles, batch sizes, or formulation adjustments. Accurately measuring these variable flow rates requires measurement technologies that can adapt and provide reliable data regardless of fluctuations, ensuring consistent product quality.

02
Air Bubbles

Air bubbles and particulate matter in the bio-fluid can interrupt flow and affect measurement accuracy. This is particularly relevant in biopharmaceutical processes where precise dosing and mixing are critical.
