BioFlowCell is an innovative patent pending disposable flowcell sampling accessory thoughtfully designed with sterility assurance in mind for real time absorbance and turbidity analysis applications. These flowcells are ideal for bio-process upstream and downstream applications with small sample volume enabling in-situ continuous monitoring or on-the-spot analysis without sample taking or laborious offline analytics.

The BioFlowCell sample accessory couples to two SMA terminated fibers and is configurable to hold a variety of pre-sterilized disposable pathlength flow cells, which have been used in long-term measurements and biotechnological applications of 10 days and longer. This is ideal for solution providers in the bioprocess and bioresearch industry where there is a need for either continuous maintenance monitoring or discrete testing.
