Case Study: Sensor Industrialization

Scaling Single-Use Sensors for Bioprocessing Systems

From prototype to 1’000+ units per month

Challenge

A biotech customer approached us with a critical requirement: reliable single-use pH and conductivity sensors for use in advanced bioprocessing systems. Their application demanded exceptional accuracy, consistency, and scalability to support sensitive bioprocess workflows.

 

Solution

Working closely with the customer’s R&D team, we developed customized single-use sensors tailored to their specific bioprocessing environment and performance requirements.

From the beginning, every sensor was designed and manufactured to deliver:

  • precise measurement accuracy
  • reliable batch-to-batch consistency
  • seamless system integration
  • dependable performance

 

Industrialization & Scale-Up

The collaboration started with low-volume production of approximately 10 sensors per month. As the customer expanded operations, we successfully scaled manufacturing to more than 1’000 sensors per month while maintaining the same stringent quality standards.

Key success factors included:

  • scalable manufacturing processes
  • flexible production capabilities
  • rigorous quality assurance
  • close technical collaboration

 

Results

More than ten years later, our sensors continue to support the customer’s bioprocessing systems across a wide range of applications.

  • 100x production scale-up
  • 10+ years of successful collaboration
  • consistent sensor reliability at scale
  • long-term manufacturing stability

This project demonstrates how deep technical expertise, flexible industrialization, and a customer-focused partnership can transform an innovative concept into a scalable long-term solution.
