pH/Gas Analyzer for Cell Culture and Fermentation

A new pH/gas analyzer from Nova Biomedical is the first analyzer of its type designed specifically for cell culture. The BioProfile pHOx provides rapid, accurate measurement of pH, p0₂ , and pC0₂ in the most appropriate ranges for cell culture process development. In addition, the analyzer provides calculated values for total CO₂ (TC0₂), bicarbonate (HC0₃- ), C0₂ saturation, and air saturation (dissolved oxygen).

The BioProfile pHOx features a compact, lightweight chassis that occupies minimal space on the laboratory bench. Samples can be aspirated directly from syringes, pipettes, test tubes, or flasks, with volume requirements of only 300 pL. Test results are available in just 45 seconds.

All results can be stored for review individually or for trend analysis using the optional BioProfile Data Management (BDM) system or via an external computer with appropriate data communications software.

An automated on-board quality control system dramatically reduces operator involvement and maintenance. An all-liquid, fully automatic calibration system eliminates gas tanks, regulators, and tubing lines.

Nova Biomedical is the world leader in biosensor technology for the measurement of metabolites, nutrients, electrolytes, and gases in complex physiological solutions.
