The FerMac 368 Blood Gas Analyser analyses the amount of oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide production in the outlet gas from your bioreactor or fermenter. Real-time monitoring of CO2 and O2 is a valuable tool for the measurement of cell growth within your fermentor vessels. Monitoring these changes can improve productivity by indicating the correct rates for oxygen flow and substrate feed. Using the FerMac 368 Gas Analyser you can also make calculations of respiratory quotient (RQ), oxygen transfer rate (OTR), carbon dioxide transfer rate (CTR), as well as metabolic rate.
