Description
Aber Instruments has a wide range of probes to suit all applications, the 12mm diameter probes ideal for small bioreactors and 25mm diameter for larger vessels, typically used in manufacturing / production environments.
All probes are electro-polished and passivated with options for USP class VI and FDA CFR21 177 certificates. By default a probe is shipped with a standard certificate of traceability. If you wish to have a full breakdown of all the materials used in the production of a probe then please order the ‘Probe Certificate of Conformance’ package for each probe. Contact us if you wish to see an example of the documentation you will receive.
The robustness and proven performance of Aber’s sensors make them the first choice for manufacturing, providing a clear and consistent scalable pathway from R&D and process development all the way through to cGMP manufacturing. This is further enhanced by the 2-year warranty on all reusable sensors with extensive support available from BPES and Aber’s global team.

ABER FUTURA 25mm probe
Port adaptors
The port adaptors are designed to allow the 12mm straight Aber probes to be fitted into either Braun or Applikon 19mm (3/4”) top plate, female port fitting. The New Brunswick version is similar but fits a male threaded port on either the top plate or side entry port. The o’rings provide a seal and the nut with nylon ferrules lock the probe in place
FUTURA System Overview
The FUTURA system’s three primary hardware components are:
The Probe, the FUTURA Instrument (Head Amplifier) and the Transmitter.
Widely adopted by the world’s leading biotech companies in both R&D and cGMP, ABER’s products are small and light but deliver powerful capabilities and great application flexibility.
