YSI carbon dioxide (CO2) sensors and monitors

The YSI carbon dioxide (CO2) sensors and monitors add a new dimension to your bioprocess development. YSI's exclusive opto-chemical technology enables precise, real-time measurement of dissolved CO2 in situ.

Featuring a patented opto-chemical technology, this system is designed to fit within a variety of bioreactors to deliver precise, real-time data that will increase understanding of bioprocess development and manufacturing control. The YSI 8500 CO2 sensor allows monitoring of dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) via real-time display of data. Users can upload data to a computer or integrate the output signal into existing control processes.

The YSI 8500 CO2 monitor utilizes a fiber-optic cable to transfer light through a stainless-steel probe and into a disposable sensor capsule which contains a fluorescent dye. As carbon dioxide (CO2) moves into the capsule's dye layer, a reaction occurs which changes the dye's fluorescence. The resulting light emission from the dye is transferred back through the cable to the monitor, which calculates the level of dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) based on ratiometric analysis of the dye's fluorescence.

The YSI 8500 carbon dioxide (CO2) monitor enables scientists, technicians, and production managers to gain control of CO2 and related factors, which can result in improved cell viability and higher product yields.
