During downstream processing, chromatography used to separate proteins, APIs, or other target components. In doing so, everything revolves around one crucial question: when does the valuable fraction leave the column? Inline UV photometers from Optek, mounted on the column outlet, measure the protein concentration continuously and in real-time, with a response time of only 0.1 second. This way, you pool fractions based on current process data instead of time-consuming offline analyses.
In biotech applications, there are also hygiene and validation important. The Optek sensors are designed for continuous use and resistant to CIP and SIP procedures. The low-maintenance sapphire optics guarantee a long service life. Thanks to the NIST traceable calibration check Verify your measurement performance reproducibly and audit-proof, without compromising process sterility. Various configurations, optical path lengths, and process connections make integration into existing chromatography setups simple. This allows you to increase yield, limit offline analyses, and simultaneously meet stringent quality requirements.
