Innovative sensor technology for biotechnology
Biotechnology is one of the most dynamic and demanding industries of our time. Precision, process control and data availability play a crucial role in the development of new biological products and processes. IBA offers specialised sensor solutions that help efficiently meet the complex requirements of biotechnology — from laboratory applications to large-scale production.
Why sensor technology in biotechnology?
In biotechnology, precise monitoring of environmental conditions and process parameters is essential to control biological reactions effectively. Sensors play a key role in capturing critical data in real time and ensuring process stability. Our solutions include:
- Temperature and pressure monitoring: Monitoring of critical process parameters in bioreactors and fermentation systems.
- pH and conductivity sensors: Precise control of the chemical environment to optimise biological processes.
- Gas and liquid sensors: Measurement of oxygen, CO₂ and other relevant gases, as well as liquid level monitoring.
- Micro-sensor technology for laboratory applications: Highly precise measurement of very small flow rates in microbiological and biochemical applications.
Areas of application
Our sensors are specially designed to meet the requirements of biotechnology and offer decisive advantages:
- High precision: Ensures accurate monitoring of biological processes to guarantee reproducible results.
