In the biopharmaceutical production process, how can various fluids (such as nutrient solutions and liquids) be efficiently controlled in and out of the bioreactor?

XY-TEK CG series ultrasonic flow sensors/flow meters can help biopharmaceutical companies verify the performance of fluid pumps in bioreactor systems, monitor pipeline aging, and achieve automated and intelligent management of the production process.

XY-TEK CG series small-diameter, low-flow, non-contact ultrasonic flow sensors/flow meters can be easily clamped onto the flexible plastic tubing used by customers to accurately and reliably measure liquid flow.

Because non-contact/external clamp-on ultrasonic flow sensors/flow meters do not come into direct contact with the fluid being measured, they can be repeatedly used without the need for disinfection or gamma irradiation, and do not incur additional costs, making them particularly suitable for high sanitary level environments, such as disposable biopharmaceutical systems.

Furthermore, XY-TEK CG series ultrasonic flow sensors/flow meters can not only monitor liquid flow in pipelines but also measure bubbles in the pipeline in a non-contact manner, ensuring the cleanliness of the fluid being measured without causing additional pressure loss or shear stress.

To meet the special application requirements in biopharmaceutical processes, the XY-TEK CG series has also introduced inline ultrasonic flow sensors/flow meters. Compared to non-contact ultrasonic flow sensors/flow meters, inline ultrasonic flow sensors/flow meters offer higher precision and accuracy, achieving a flow rate accuracy of 1%.

They have a wider range of flow rate measurements, capable of measuring flow rates as low as 1mL/min and up to high flow rates of 100L/min. XY-TEK CG series inline ultrasonic flow sensors/flow meters have no moving parts, so they do not generate solid particles or block the flow path.

In addition to their application in bioreactors, XY-TEK CG series ultrasonic flow sensors/flow meters can also be used in the following scenarios,

1.Media and buffer Preparations, which replace scales for volume measurement

2.Inoculation, which controls the injection of cell lines into the reactor

3.Chromatography, which helps balance acid/base delivery to the system

4.Bioreactor, which manages the feeding of media/ nutrients

5.Filtration (Tangential Flow Filtration), which measures flow rates on feed and permeate lines

6.Centrifugation, which determines flow/no flow conditions

7.Fill/Finish, which measures the volume of fluid dispensed into containers
