Introduction:
Incyte sensorIt can measure the density of live cells in a solution in real-time online, which is not affected by changes in the culture medium, microcarriers, dead cells, or cell debris. This measurement is widely used in biological processes such as mammalian cell culture, yeast, and high-density bacterial fermentation. Online monitoring of live cells enables real-time response to critical nodes during the monitoring process without the need for sampling.
Product advantages
Improve productivity and reduce costs
Frequency scanning function for online monitoring of changes in cellular physiological morphology
Accurately control the endpoint of continuous cultivation
Early detection of process deviations
working principle
Incyte is based on the principle of capacitance measurement, where living cells are viewed as tiny capacitors in a high-frequency electric field. The charge of these tiny capacitors is measured by sensors and presented in the form of dielectric constant (capacitance value per unit area).
