SONOCHECK® ABD06 Non-Contact Bubble Detector

Product catalog summary
Overview: The SONOCHECK® ABD06 is a non-contact bubble detector designed for precise air bubble monitoring and full/empty detection in bioprocessing applications. It features a clamp-on mechanism that allows for direct measurement through tubing walls without contamination or shear stress on cells.
Key Features:
  • High-grade sensors for air bubble monitoring and full/empty detection.
  • Compact design with integrated electronics.
  • Non-contact clamp-on mechanism suitable for various bioprocessing plastic tubing materials.
  • Stable sensor reliability under changing acoustic conditions.
  • Optional ATEX certification for hazardous environments.
Applications:
  • Chromatography: Prevents air from being pumped into columns.
  • Tangential Flow Filtration: Prevents air entry into filter cassettes.
  • Pump Protection: Detects air bubbles caused by cavitation.
  • Transfer Lines: Notifies when reservoirs run dry.
  • Bioreactors/Fermentators: Detects foaming in feed/harvest lines.
  • Feed Stream: Continuously monitors for air bubbles to prevent air entering filters.
  • Fill & Finish: Detects undesired air entering vessels to prevent inaccurate dosing.
Measurement Principle: The sensors use ultrasonic transmission to detect air bubbles and obstructions by monitoring dynamic amplitude. A drop in the signal level indicates the presence and size of air bubbles.
Specifications: The document includes a tubing size chart for various SONOCHECK® ABD06 sensor models, detailing compatibility with different tubing diameters and types.
Certifications: The product is certified according to ISO 9001 and EN ISO 13485 standards.

SONOCHECK® ABD06 Non-Contact Bubble Detector-1

SONOCHECK® ABD06 Non-Contact Bubble Detectors The highly precise clamp-on SONOCHECK ABD06 bubble sensors are ideal for continuous air bubble monitoring and full / empty detection. An implemented patented closed loop algorithm ensures fast air bubble detection and guarantees constant bubble sensitivity, widely independent of the quality of the acoustic coupling. Dependent on the inner diameter of the tubing and flow velocity, the sensors can detect bubbles as small as 1 μl. Key Features → High grade sensors for air bubble monitoring and full/empty detection → No contamination and no shear stress on cells → Compact design with integrated electronics → Suitable for WFI, cell culture media, buffer solutions, and most aqueous solutions → Non-contact clamp-on mechanism enabling direct measurement through the tubing wall → For a wide range of specific bioprocessing plastic tubing, e.g. PCS, PE, PTFE, FEP, PFA, TPE, PVC, reinforced tubing → Stable sensor reliability to changing acoustic conditions, e.g. fluid density or viscosity → Optional ATEX certification for hazardous environments Bioprocessing Applications Chromatography: Prevention of air being pumped into columns and diversion of air infused liquids around the columns Bioreactors / Fermentators: Detection of foaming in feed / harvest lines Tangential Flow Filtration: Prevention of air entry into filter cassettes Feed Stream: Continuous monitoring for air bubbles in the feed stream to prevent air entering the filter Pump Protection: Detection of air bubbles caused by cavitation and protection from dry running Fill & Finish: Detection of undesired air entering vessels to prevent inaccurate volume dose Transfer Lines: Notification when res

Tubing Size Chart for SONOCHECK® ABD06 Tube OD inch Soft / Flexible Tubing SONOCHECK Sensor Hard Tubing SONOCHECK Sensor SONOCHECK Sensor Braided Tubing Bubble Detection | Ultrasonic Transmission SONOCHECK ABD06 bubble sensors detect air bubbles and obstructions by means of dynamic amplitude monitoring. Depending on the sound impedance of the adjacent media, reflection and transmission take place at the interface. When an air bubble passes the sensor channel, the signal level of the transmitted sound wave drops. The higher the drop of the signal level, the larger the bubble size. 1 Amplitude...
