understanding bioprocesses

Understand your bioprocess with BlueSens It is our philosophy to make bioprocessing as open and user-friendly as possible so the user gets a controlled process with the highest possible process reliability. Measure in the process: no contamination, continuous readings without interruptions No gas treatment (e.g. CO2 absorption) Simultaneously monitor all important process parameters (e.g. pH, pO2, etc. and not only CH4) and control actuators Real-time measurement Modular setup: adopt the system to your demands Confidence about the process conditions and highest reproducibility Save time &...

The Yieldmaster is ideal to compare different substrates with each other. With this analysis system you know exactly at which time how much methane was produced. The BlueVis software provides very convenient measurement.

Know and monitor the produced CH4 volume in real time. Compare the gas yield of different substrates

What is the Yieldmaster? The basic configuration consists of a glass bottle connected to the high precision gas volumetric flow-meter BlueVCount for up to 80 ml/min providing a resolution of 1 ml. Due to integrated pressure and temperature compensation it displays standard volume. Also humidity effects are compensated for each device individually. A professional setup as used for research purposes adds BlueSens’ well proven BCP single gas analyzers for e.g. CH4, CO2, O2 or H2 to the system. These analyzers might either be positioned directly at the headspace (for headspace correction...

Gain information about your process kinetics, substance behavior, substrate characteristics and outputs Your advantages: • No minimum gas flow required • High sample throughput • Real-time monitoring • Visualizing metabolism phenomena • Compareable results by parallelism • Automatic data acquisition, high grade of automation

Configure your individual Yieldmaster system 1. elect the S volumetric flowmeter 5. elect stirring S method Magnetic stirring plate or overhead stirrer Vessel flat bottom for magnetic stir bar, various round jars Diverse sensors and actuators 3. elect the relevant S gases, you want to measure 7. elect data S transfer Heated water bath or heating jackets

High quality gas volumetric measurement: professional and precise The BlueVCount measures gas volumes in reactions of all kind. It is usable for fermentations, degradation studies, substrate comparison studies, in wastewater treatment, bioethanol or hydrogen production and is especially helpful in bio methane potential (BMP) determinations in industry and academia. Gas volume measurement delivers important information about the process and helps to optimize yields and process procedures. There is no minimum flow required. BlueVCount at a glance • More process information • Leads to less...
