CITSens Bio is a system for online, in situ measurement of glucose, glutamate and lactate in cell cultures.

Non-invasive, real-time analysis of the measurements relevant to the process takes place directly in the disposable reactor. This dispenses with costly, risky sampie taking which disturbs the cell system and could lead to contamination. Cell culture sterility is guaranteed at all times.

The CITSens Bio sensor is a screen printed
electrode and is suitable for measuring glucose, glutamate and lactate. It is very easy
to handle: The gamma sterilised sensor is
delivered ready for use and can be used
straightaway.

The sensor is connected to the CITSens Bio
Beamer with a cable. CITSens Bio Beamer is placed right next to the reactor system and
incorporates a data acquisition unit as well
as a transmitter for wireless transmission of
the measured values of glucose, glutamate
and lactate in g/I directly to a receiver.

ZOMOFI® receives measurement data from up to 1,000 sensors and transfer these to the PC by means of RS232 or LAN. At the same time, CITSens Bio software imports the data and stores them in a database. The software enables the sensors to be calibrated, displays the status of the radio modules and can group individual sensors together. The measured data are illustrated in graphs
and can be exported in CSV format.
