Multi-channel Fiber Optic pH Meter
pH-4 mini
The pH-4 mini is a fiber optic pH meter for simultaneous operation of up to 4 pH sensors. The matching pH sensors type HP5 & HP8 are based on a 2 mm optical fiber and optimized for physiological solutions. The pH meter is connected to a PC and controlled with a user-friendly software.
- For use with non-invasive pH sensors & flow-through cells
- One calibration for a multitude of sensor spots
- Software included
Applications
Bioprocess Development: pH Monitoring in Shake Flasks
The pH is one of the major issues in the cultivation of cells, yeast or bacteria. Shake flask cultures are widely applied in academic and industrial bioprocess development. As adequate methods for real monitoring of pH were not available, cumbersome at-line sampling was used. The combination with non-invasive oxygen sensors in shake flasks provides new insights into metabolic activity and changes in metabolic pathways.
