Xylem’s YSI brand will showcase the new 2900M Online Monitoring and Control System, featuring the YSI Sitini Online Sampler as a new and innovative solution to address the online monitoring needs of bioprocess applications.

The YSI Sitini Online Sampler can be set up to automatically draw fluids from the bioreactor, delivering samples directly to the 2900 biochemistry analyzer for testing. Sampling is done aseptically with no risk of contamination, as lines are flushed and antiseptic is kept in them after each drawing.

A popular industry choice for life science or pharma applications, measuring analytes such as glucose, glutamine, glutamate, lactate and many more, the 2900M Online Monitoring and Control System provides a simple and reliable solution for running your bioprocess automatically, with accurate results in less than one minute.

When it comes time for cleaning, the components of the 2900M system are autoclavable, critical for sterilization with the bioreactor. The analyzer and the Sitini Sampler can also connect to process management instruments via RS232, Ethernet, orOPen Connectivity (OPC) to incorporate into existing applications, and the searchable database allows for quick access to stored results.

The slim modular design of the 2900M provides great flexibility for labs of any size, as it occupies such a reasonable bench top footprint.
