Fixed Magnetic Sector Mass Spectrometers
Ideal for Fermentation Control
Our real-time MGA™ fixed magnetic sector spectrometers are purpose-built to surpass gas analysis demands for the life sciences and across a broad spectrum of industries, including iron and steel, ammonia, ethylene oxide, and ethylene cracking. Offering high precision and a dynamic measurement range (from high ppm to 100%) for full, speciated composition, our mass spectrometer based gas analyzers are designed to excel.
The fixed magnet analyzer ensures rapid, accurate, and stable real-time analysis of up to 16 gas components in less than 1 second. In addition to our single gas inlet system, our optional multi-stream sampler facilitates fast-purging stream selection for 16, 32, 50, or 100 streams. The unique combination of parallel spectrum processing and rapid stream selection positions it as the world’s fastest available process gas analyzer, providing complete stream analysis data every 3-10 seconds (application dependent).
This powerful instrument is pivotal in analyzing bioreactor off-gases during fermentation, providing crucial insights for optimizing production and achieving desired product outcomes. Its superior low drift characteristics guarantee unparalleled stability and accuracy over extended periods, enhancing the reliability of highly accurate OUR/CER/RQ calculations. These calculations maximize the titer from each monitored fermentation vessel, contributing to process efficiency. During fermentation monitoring, the MGA 1200CS™ offers unparalleled precision in sparge gas and off-gas analysis. Our real-time data feeding into your OUR/CER/RQ calculations enable immediate adjustments, maximizing yields automatically without the need for lab sample testing.
In the Life Sciences Sector, the MGA 1200CS is indispensable for maximizing yields and confirming complete CIP for fermentation vessels. With a focus on meticulous analysis, it ensures adherence to stringent standards, maintaining consistent, high-quality characteristics.
An invaluable asset in research and development, the MGA 1200CS’s new low flow capability allows connection to small bioreactors (e.g., 250 mL) for organism characterization. This capability benefits Industrial Fermentation, Pharmaceutical Fermentation, and Mammalian Cell Culture, driving innovation and product enhancement. In Mammalian Cell Culture, the MGA 1200CS’s key feature is extremely precise oxygen analysis, even under low flow sparge gas rates, thanks to its new low flow capability supporting rates down to 20 cc/min.
