System Features

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. 

Patent Pending 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 

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. 

Our antibody-based sensors detect food processing targets such as specific proteins and bacteria. The immobilised antibody and target substance act like a lock & key and an electrical signal is produced when they combine. This allows the type and amount of protein or bacteria to be measured.
