Custom pH Sensor for Bioprocessing Automation
10+ Years of Reliable Performance in Automated R&D and QA Systems
Challenge
A customer developing fully automated testing systems for R&D and QA required a highly specialized custom pH sensor for integration into their platform.
The application presented significant technical constraints:
- shaft diameter below 5 mm
- extended sensor length
- high mechanical durability in automated environments
- custom cable integration
- compatibility with continuous automated operation
Additionally, the required geometry demanded a specialized glass-blowing manufacturing process, making both development and production highly complex.
Standard off-the-shelf sensors could not meet these mechanical and integration requirements.
Solution
We worked closely with the customer to design and manufacture a fully customized pH sensor optimized for their automated system.
Our approach combined:
- precision custom sensor design
- specialized glass-blown sensor production
- tailored cable and connector integration
- application-specific engineering support
This ensured seamless integration into the customer’s automation platform while maintaining high measurement accuracy and long-term reliability.
Results
The solution has now been successfully in use for over 10 years, supporting stable and consistent operation across multiple automated systems and applications.
- 10+ years of continuous use in production environments
- seamless integration into automated R&D and QA systems
- reliable performance under demanding operating conditions
- scalable, repeatable manufacturing process
This long-term partnership demonstrates how custom sensor engineering and close collaboration can solve highly specific challenges in bioprocessing and laboratory automation.
