Field of Application

The OUSBT66 NIR absorption sensor monitors cell growth, biomass processes, algae systems and crystallization processes. It provides you with reliable, precise measured values in real-time to optimize your process and your product yield. The sensor’s hygienic design is CIP/SIP resistant and allows autoclavation. Equipped with NIST-traceable and certified clip-on filters, OUSBT66 is outstandingly easy to calibrate and verify.

The OUSBT66 sensor measures the cell density, biomass and suspended solids in life sciences applications, such as:

• Cell growth in bacterial fermentation
• Mammalian cell culture applications
• Biomass during fermentation processes
• Monitoring of algae concentration
• Monitoring of crystallization processes
• Suspended solids measurement

OUSBT66 is suitable for laboratory, pilot scale and production fermenters and bioreactors.
