Bioreactor – Production Of Enzymes, Proteins & Antibodies

VEGA Level Sensors

Level Sensors

An important component in the production of medicines is often the cultivation of micro-organisms or cells in the bioreactors.

Any contamination with other organisms can lead to the process failing so a high degree of hygiene is crucial.

VEGA level sensors can be used to provide accurate and continuous level and pressure measurement – a vital process to achieve a high quality end product.

Level Measurement With VEGA VEGAPULS 63

The VEGAPULS 63 radar sensor with front-flush, encapsulated antenna can be optimally cleaned and is non-sensitive to the extreme conditions of the SIP and CIP processes. VEGAPULS 63 ensures the greatest possible utilization of the reactor volume, as the level measurement is not influenced by changing product and process conditions.

Pressure Monitoring With VEGA VEGABAR 55

With its welded, 50 μm-thick Hastelloy diaphragm and aseptic LA process fitting, VEGABAR 55 level sensor is a reliable and hygienically optimal solution. The diaphragm easily handles both the chemical cleaning cycles and the thermal shocks after sterilization.
