BlueVary consists of a basis station with three plug-in positions for gas sensor cartridges. Two different gases can be measured at once. The third plug-in position holds a pressure or pressure/humidity sensor cartridge. Gas sensor cartridges are selectable according to your application and can be changed easily as required. BlueVary increases your efficiency
BlueVary Microbial gas analyzer
3 cartridge plug-in positions:1 for pressure/humidity,2 for two various gas cartridges
Variable connections and data output options
Light but robust plastic housing
Cartridges for CO2, O2, CH4 and H2 available now
One device to cover different measurement tasks: choose a suitable gas sensor cartridge for your application
Maintenance free: no need for offsite annual maintenance - minimizes your downtime
Auto compensated pressure and/or humidity: no gas cooler, pumps, valves or other gas pretreatment needed
Connectable to any hose/tube or pipe: use it on your fermenter of choice
Integrated status display: see all sensor information and measurement data at a glance
Simplify process optimization:continuous online fermentation monitoring for cell culture, microbial, algae, fungi or biogas processes identify metabolic phenomena and obtain vital process parameters
Applicable from lab to industrial scale
