Power Supply

Most laboratory analytical instruments operate on standard UK mains voltage (230V, 50Hz).

• What is the primary function of a Tandem Pro Gas Analyser?

  The Tandem Pro Gas Analyser is designed to continuously monitor and analyse oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in gas streams, particularly in bioreactor and fermentation processes.

• Can this analyser be integrated into existing control systems?

• What maintenance is typically required for a gas analyser of this kind?

• Is this unit suitable for sterile environments?

• What are the benefits of having an internal gas pump?

Gas analyzers and detectors are regarded as essential precision instruments in pharmaceutical and biotech laboratories. Buyers typically prioritise calibration records and maintenance history when purchasing used equipment. These instruments are valued for their accuracy, repeatability, and reliability in critical analytical processes. Key considerations include ensuring proper documentation of service intervals, verifying sensor functionality, and confirming compatibility with existing laboratory systems. Well-maintained units often perform comparably to new equipment at considerably lower cost, making them attractive for budget-conscious facilities requiring validated analytical capability.
