Futura pico
Our multi-use sensors have typically been placed in vessels from 1 litre upwards through to large scale stainless steel vessels of over 250,000 litres.
With the exciting introduction of the Futura pico system, Aber sensor technology is now available in even smaller bioreactors, as used in R&D, pilot scale and parallel mini bioreactor systems typically used for DOE.
