MAX300-BIO Bioreactor Gas Analyzer

Mass Spectrometry is a powerful tool for bioreactor monitoring. Changes to the composition of bioreactor or fermenter off-gas provide crucial insight into cellular health and production efficiency. This makes the fast, accurate analysis of CO₂, O₂, N₂, Ar, H₂O and other compounds essential for real-time process control.

The MAX300-BIO uses cutting edge quadrupole mass spectrometer technology to quantify bioreactor gases from multiple reactors within the facility and reports the data to the control system in real-time.
