Custom Single-Use pH Sensor for Bioreactor Platforms
Supporting Culture Biosciences’ Cloud-Connected Bioprocessing Systems
Challenge
Culture Biosciences develops advanced, cloud-connected bioreactors for upstream bioprocess development, enabling rapid process scaling, characterization, and optimization.
To support their platform, they required a high-performance single-use pH sensor capable of:
- accurate measurements across a wide pH range
- minimal signal drift
- compatibility with gamma sterilization
- reliable performance after extended dry storage
- seamless integration into single-use bioreactor systems
Standard sensor solutions could not meet these demanding requirements.
Solution
Leveraging our expertise in custom sensor development and industrialization, we engineered a tailored single-use pH sensor designed specifically for their application.
The solution combined:
- excellent dry storage stability
- high measurement accuracy and repeatability
- low drift over time
- full compatibility with single-use bioprocess systems
- robust design for demanding production environments
Results
The customized sensor is now an integral part of Culture Biosciences’ platform, supporting reliable and scalable upstream bioprocess development.
- accurate and stable pH measurement
- seamless integration into disposable bioreactors
- performance stability after long dry storage
- trusted use in advanced bioprocess workflows
Customer Feedback
“We are very pleased to work with Metroglas to develop a single-use glass pH solution for our bioreactors. We needed an option for pH sensing that could cover a wide range of pH with minimal drift, high accuracy, and gamma compatibility. Their responsiveness, high level of sensor quality, and customization made the integration process very smooth and streamlined.”
