Description
HA.s.ex.20.10 Exner biomass sensor is a near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy sensor for measuring total biomass in bioreactor systems. It features a 20 mm measurement path and is designed for use with 10-litre bioreactor vessels, enabling continuous optical monitoring of culture density without routine invasive sampling. By applying NIR spectroscopy, the sensor supports process insight during fermentation and cell-culture work where total biomass is a key control parameter. The compact probe format is intended for integration into compatible laboratory and pilot-scale bioreactor setups. Offered as a single-piece unit from manufacturer IKA, the HA.s.ex.20.10 matches optical path length to larger vessel volumes so that signal response remains appropriate for 10 l working volumes. Typical applications include bioprocess development, scale-up studies and routine monitoring in research and production-support laboratories that rely on real-time biomass data. The sensor belongs to the laboratory materials category and is specified for total biomass measurement via NIR, providing a dedicated optical path for 10-litre bioreactor vessels in controlled laboratory environments.
This article is part of Temperature probes & sensors, in Temperature measurement.

Questions about HA.s.ex.20.10, Exner biomass sensor, 20 mm, for 10 l
What is this article?
HA.s.ex.20.10, Exner biomass sensor, 20 mm, for 10 l is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes IKA for laboratory use. It sits in Temperature probes & sensors, inside Temperature measurement, in Lab instruments.
A temperature probe is the sensor, Pt100, thermocouple or thermistor, that a meter or a logger reads. The probe, not the display, is what is calibrated. The sheath material and the response time matter in a liquid versus a block.
A thermometer reports a temperature. A liquid-in-glass thermometer is a calibrated column. A digital thermometer is a sensor and a display, and the sensor, not the display, is what is calibrated. An infrared thermometer reads a surface and depends on emissivity. A data logger stores the reading over time. Without a stated uncertainty and a calibration point, the number is only an indication. The scale is maintained by the BIPM and compared by EURAMET. Accreditation is BELAC.
