Applications
Frequently asked questions
What does BioVIS measure?
Total cell growth and biomass, inline and continuously, so culture growth kinetics can be tracked and logged in real time.
Does BioVIS require sampling?
No — it is non-invasive and in-situ, which reduces contamination risk and preserves culture-media volume.
What temperature and pressure can it withstand?
It operates from 0 to 150 °C and up to 10 bar, and is steam-sterilizable to 200 °C as well as autoclavable.
Is BioVIS compatible with my bioreactor?
Yes — probe lengths are customisable for any vessel size and it is compatible with all major bioreactor brands.
Is there a multi-reactor version?
Yes — the BioVIS Multiplex tracks total cell density across multiple parallel cultures for high-throughput workflows.
