Description
OPTURA SPY is a highly flexible, continuous online biomass monitor. Collect real time data with a non-contact sensor, remove the need for sampling and contamination. Apply the SPY vessel adapter to a clear wall, plug in your SPY sensor and start to measure the cells within. You decide how and where to use the SPY sensor, the flexible format makes this sensor suitable for use from the lab right through to GMP manufacturing.
Don’t limit your use to the bioreactor, OPTURA SPY format is perfectly suited to a host of applications from tubing to bench top reactors and bags.
Key benefits:
- Real-time, online, non-contact cell density readings
- Broad range of applications
- Online monitoring in; microreactors AMBR 15 & 250, benchtop reactors, bags, any clear wall up to 4.3mm thick
- Suitable for use from lab through to GMP application
- Downstream capabilities on tubing etc
- Monitor trends of biomass

OPTURA System Overview
ABER’s OPTURA range of sensors allows the user to monitor biomass growth trends in real-time and on-line, allowing these sensors to be used for a bioprocess 4.0 solution. These sensors offer a wide linear range of biomass from seeding to harvest concentrations all within one sensor. Don’t make things harder than they need to be when you can use a single OPTURA sensor to monitor your entire fermentation process.
Key benefits
- Real-time online
- Wide range of applications
- Contactless
- Range of bioreactors from benchtop to bags
- Monitor trends of biomass
- Hand-held
ABER’s patented bubble filter algorithm eradicates the effects of bubbles on biomass readings, minimising both noisy readings and high biomass prediction error. This increases efficiency, reliability and speed to market by using data driven process development and feed strategies.
Wide measurement range
For the first time, previously narrow measurement ranges have been opened wide, so you can measure cells from seed to harvest concentrations with a single, powerful sensor.
More on ABER
ABER’s FUTURA and OPTURA range of biomass measurement and monitoring sensors offers compact, lightweight instrumentation for use on conventional and disposable bioreactors alike. ABER’s pioneering work in the development and use of dielectric instrumentation to monitor biomass, by measuring cell membrane capacitance and media conductivity, has regularly set new standards. In the biotech market, our current FUTURA range is seen as the benchmark in determining live cell concentration online in bioreactors.
