Overview

Biopharmaceutical and bioprocess systems require sensors that maintain cleanliness and accuracy in closed and single-use setups. SMD helps customers solve their toughest measurement problems with custom float switches, non-invasive level sensors, and load cells that monitor vessel conditions and support process control.

Sensing Challenges

How SMD Solves It

Vessel level & condition monitoring

Custom float switches monitor and help improve bioreactor vessel conditions.

Non-invasive sensing

Non-invasive ultrasonic and optical level sensors monitor process fluids without breaching sterile boundaries.

Gravimetric control

Thin-film strain gauge load cells measure vessel and bag weight for precise media handling.
