InPro 6880i/6870i optical oxygen sensors are tailored for the biopharmaceutical industry, where safety of the process control is the main focus of interest. During preparation and maintenance operations of an oxygen sensor for the next batch, all procedures must be carefully executed and well documented in order to avoid possible handling errors. With the ISM technology, all sensor data, including calibration, are stored in the sensor itself. Maintenance and calibration can be performed in the lab under controlled and clean conditions; installation in the process can be done in minutes. If calibration with the sensor installed is required, the M400 transmitter offers easy and fast routines for air or process calibration. After connecting the sensor to the transmitter, all relevant data are automatically transferred to the transmitter and an oxygen reading is available in less then a minute. System status and the quality of the sensing element, the OptoCap, are monitored in real-time. The exchangeable OptoCap is FDA compliant. Material and position of the O-Ring (USP Class VI) minimize the risk of cross-contamination.
