Hamilton, 10187043, Incyte-PO SU

The Hamilton Incyte SU family of Viable Cell Density (VCD) sensor elements offers a leading solution for single-use applications in the Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology industries, making it ideal for integration into single-use bioreactor bags. These sensors represent a significant advancement in single-use measurement, addressing common issues associated with traditional reusable VCD sensors inserted into bags or benchtop bioreactors. They combine the proven reliability and measurement stability of Hamilton's conventional sensors with the convenience of seamless integration into single-use bioreactors.
The Incyte SU sensor elements provide high accuracy even after gamma irradiation and have a sufficient shelf life. The difference between the Incyte-P SU and the Incyte-PO SU lies in their compatibility with various bioreactor bag films, as the Incyte-PO SU is optimized for welding to bag films, whereas the Incyte-P SU exhibits limited adhesion properties. The Incyte SU sensors, combined with the Arc Module Incyte SU, provide industry-standard digital Modbus RTU signals. An analog signal (4 to 20 mA) is also available with an Arc Wi 2G adapter BT. The Incyte SU sensor is designed for measuring viable cells during mammalian cell culture, yeast, and high-density bacterial fermentation. The measurement principle of Incyte sensors is based on permittivity, where viable cells behave like capacitors. Their polarization and depolarization in an alternating electrical field are measured, correlating to viable cell density and remaining insensitive to cell debris and microcarriers.
