The Continuous Monitoring System
-
Multiple Sample Port Device
The multiple sample port device allows for real-time mass balance monitoring (inputs, outputs, and waste monitoring simultaneously) and allows for tracing problems back to their source within a process.
-
Sample Pre-Conditioning System
The sample pre-conditioning ensures reproducible measurements in highly variable industrial processing streams.
-
Patented Flow-Cell
The proprietary flow-cell technology allows for accurate measurements by ensuring a reproducible laminar flow of a food processing sample across the biosensor technology.

Biosensor Measurements
CertusBio use a lab-on-a-chip biosensor to continually monitor food production with no disruption to existing plant processes. The fully automated self-calibrating devices provide highly specific, interference-free continuous measurements..
Why Biosensors?
The production of food suffers from significant inefficiencies due to the speed and scale of processing required for manufacturers to remain competitive. Without accurate, real-time data, reoccurring losses can compound, costing businesses and the environment through in-process giveaway, out of specification products, high microbial loads and presence of inhibitors. However, monitoring these losses becomes difficult.
Sensitive and accurate solutions are limited to the laboratory due to harsh processing conditions, while in-line solutions can’t offer the sensitivity and specificity required to supply accurate results. By using third generation biosensors inside proprietary flow cells, CertusBio can provide lab-based accuracy in-line and on the factory floor.
Our biosensors are made using screen-printed electrodes that are designed to fit inside the flow-cell and make use of immobilised enzymes and antibodies that specifically detect a target substance and convert it into a measurable electrical signal.
CertusBio has over five years experience using a lactose specific enzyme which is capable of direct electron transfer. This feature simplifies the biosensor architecture and increases performance. Biosensors based on this enzyme technology are highly robust.
