New Optical O2 sensors from METTLER-TOLEDO Ingold

Ryan Herco Flow Solutions is proud to announce the release of this exciting new technology from our colleagues at Mettler-Toledo. The InPro 6880i series is a new line of highly innovative optical sensors for the measurement of Dissolved Oxygen in cell culture, fermentation and chemical processing. Based on a chemo-optical measurement principle, the InPro 6880i sensor provides significant advantages for the BioPharm industry. Extremely quick start up and response time, combined with the excellent measurement quality of this revolutionary system, make it the ideal choice for cell culture, fermentation and other BioPharm processes.

The new InPro 6880i can be sterilized and installed in the bioreactor and fermenter as before, through sensor housings mounted on Ingold ports, but the InPro 6880i optical sensor does not need electrolyte or polarization eliminating inadvertent handling errors and production delays!

Inside the InPro 6880i a green-based LED light emanating from sensor electronics excites marker molecules immobilized in an oxygen-sensitive membrane layer. The excited molecules emit red light through a chemo-optical fluorescence process. An electronic detector determines the oxygen content based upon the characteristics of the fluorescent light produced.

This innovative technology, combined with Mettler-Toledo INGOLDs long-standing excellence in the measurement of oxygen in bioreactors, was refined to produce the most advanced measurement system for oxygen monitoring applications. The result: a new standard of excellence for enhanced performance and ease of use. The InPro 6880i produces extremely reproducible results with outstanding accuracy, leading to high measurement consistency.

In addition, the InPro 6880i contains the Mettler-Toledo’s groundbreaking ISM (Intelligent Sensor Management) technology, which helps to increase the safety and accuracy of the DO measurement through on-going real time sensor diagnostics. Sensor status information is analyzed online, providing operators with real-time warnings when sensor aging signs appear.

ISM also provides a plug-n-measure functionality with automatic uploading of sensor calibration data to the system’s transmitter.

Contact your local Ryan Herco Flow Solutions representative at 925-443-9800 for further information and to set up a demonstration of this exciting new technology.
