Parker SciLog SciPres Pressure Monitor

• Monitoring pressure in filtration processes, such as tangential flow filtration (TFF) and virus filtration.
• Controlling pressure within chromatography systems for precise separation.
• Monitoring pressure in bioreactor and fermenter feed lines and exhaust systems.
• Use in aseptic filling and transfer operations to ensure consistent pressure.
• Integration into single-use bioprocessing workflows for enhanced efficiency.

Pressure Range

Typically designed for ranges suitable for biopharmaceutical processes, often up to 100 psi (approximately 7 bar).

Sensor Type

Utilises pre-calibrated, single-use pressure sensors for aseptic operations.

Inputs

Monitors of this type commonly support simultaneous inputs from multiple sensors, often up to three.

Calculations

Units typically provide real-time calculations for trans-membrane pressure (TMP) and differential pressure (dP).

Traceability

Features unique ID numbers and integrated calibration data for enhanced process traceability.

Sterilisation Compatibility

Sensors are typically gamma-stable, NaOH stable, and autoclave stable.

Power Supply

Operates on standard laboratory power, commonly 100-240V AC, 50/60 Hz.

• What is the primary benefit of using a single-use pressure monitor?

  Single-use pressure monitors eliminate the need for cleaning and sterilisation between batches, reducing turnaround times and mitigating the risk of cross-contamination in critical biopharmaceutical applications.

• Are the sensors pre-calibrated?

• Can this monitor be integrated into existing bioprocessing systems?

• What kind of data logging capabilities does it have?

• Is this equipment suitable for GMP environments?

Pressure sensors and monitors are valued for their reliability and precision in laboratory and pharmaceutical applications. Buyers typically prioritise accuracy, calibration history, and compatibility with existing systems when purchasing used units. Industry sentiment recognises these instruments as durable workhorses that retain functionality well when properly maintained. Key considerations include verification of calibration certificates, condition of sensing elements, and documentation of previous usage. Well-maintained examples from reputable manufacturers generally offer strong value and dependable performance.
