The measurement of dissolved oxygen (DO) in cell culture applications is one of the most common applications of oxygen sensors in biopharmaceuticals.
Oxygen is a critical process parameter needed for cell growth. Cells are grown in a bioreactor, where oxygen is sustained at around 30 to 60% air saturation. Inadequate oxygen stresses the cells, restricts growth (hypoxia), and possibly triggers cell death (anoxia). Excessive oxygen concentrations can cause foam buildup within the vessel and even oxygen toxicity. DO sensors employed in bioreactor applications can be either optical or polarographic. These sensors need a hygienic design and the capability to endure sterilization (autoclave or steam-in-place) and chemical cleaning (clean-in-place). Oxygen Gas Probe
