Electrochemical measurements

Measuring principle

pH measurement is based on a potential difference between a measuring and reference electrode as in a galvanic cell. In glass electrodes the measurement is based on a special pH-sensitive glass membrane whose surface reacts to the acid content of a solution with a specific voltage. This voltage is then measured relative to a reference element which is in contact with the solution. The result-ing potential difference is measured by a transmitter and is converted directly into the pH value.

Apart from using a glass membrane, the pH value can also be measured by an ion selective field effect transistor (ISFET). Here, the sensing part is a transistor with drain and source which are isolated from the gate. The hydrogen ions at the gate cause a current flowing through the tran-sistor and the related voltage is processed as in glass electrodes.

The advantages of the new Memosens technology results in the lowest total cost of operation through a safe and reli-able measuring point with dramatically increased availability.

Until the innovation of Memosens, the connection between the sensor and the transmitter was the weak link in the pH measurement loop, due to problems with ground loops, corrosion, high impedance, moisture and environmental impacts. For example, even small amounts of moisture in the pH sensor connection may change the measured value and may even result in measurement failure using standard pH sensor connections. Now, the Memosens technology revolutionizes the reliability and simplicity of data transfer by digitizing and storing the measured value in the head of the pH sensor microchip.

Then transferring the information digitally to the transmitter using a non-contact, inductive connection. The leap in technol-ogy to a new generation of digital sensor provides additional advantages and elimi-nates general limitations of the technology in place to date.

The “twist and lock” coupling provides a robust and secure connection which allows a fast and easy sensor replace-ment, with complete galvanic separation and reliable measurement (shows either correct or no values). The calibration of the measuring loop is independent of cable and transmitter, allowing calibration in the laboratory. The automatic transfer of data stored in the sensor enables the user to stock calibrated replacement sensors and provides the possibility for predictive maintenance based on the sensor history.

Conductivity measurement

Conductivity is a broad-based measuring method for determining the concentration of chemical solutions and the purity of water, since the ionic compounds of acids, alkalis and salts contribute to conductivity. For the majority of conductivity measure-ment applications, Wedgewood Analytical provides an appropriate conductivity sen-sor for each specific measuring range and installation requirement. For measuring Pure Water, USP Puri-fied Water and Water for Injection (WFI), the two-electrode sensor OLS16 with integrated temperature element is the optimum sensor due to the high sensitivity and hygienic design. For example, the stringent requirements for WFI are listed in the worldwide accepted United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standard. In section 645 the maximum allowed uncompensat-ed conductivity value is given in relation to the temperature. In combination with the digital transmitter 820/822, Wedgewood Analytical offers a complete solution to ensure WFI and cleaning water meet USP standards.

For conductivity applications in chromato-graphic separation or further purification processes the conductivity sensors BT721 and BT724 are offered as a standard qualified solution. Both sensors work with the conductive four-pole technology that results in reduced polarization effect and provides a broader measuring range com-pared to two-electrode sensors.

The integrated temperature element in one of the four titanium electrodes allows a reliable and precise compensated measurement. The sensors are specially designed to be installed in the hygienic, CIP and SIP resistant flow cells B605 and B607. Furthermore, the modular flow cell design offers a variety of process connec-tions and a broad range of materials from electropolished stainless steel (316L) to Kynar plastic for use even in corrosive salt solutions.

The optimum sensor for high conduc-tivity applications, like media and buffer preparation or monitoring of rinse cycles and CIP applications, is the OLS54 conductivity sensor. The OLS54 employs an electrodeless, inductive measuring principle with fully encapsulated design. The OLS54 is completely insensitive to contamination and meets all hygienic re-quirements. It is available with a variety of process connections, all wetted parts are FDA listed and certified according to 3A and EHEDG. Optionally, a certificate of biological reactivity tests according to USP class VI may be provided as well.

Measuring principle

The conductivity of liquids is determined by measuring the electrical resistance. The measuring arrangement for determi-nation can be described as in a capacitor where two electrodes are located opposite of each other. According to Ohm’s law, the specific conductivity is given by the ratio of the cell constant which describes the ge-ometry of the electrode arrangement and the resistance. In the case of an ideal plate capacitor, the cell constant is given by the ratio of electrode distance and electrode surface.

Electrochemical measurement 07Electrochemical measurement06

For two-electrode sensors, a concentric arrangement of the cylindrical electrodes is preferred which results in an enclosed electrical field. Four-electrode sensors usually have an open electric field caused by a planar arrangement of the electrodes. Here, two current electrodes create an electrical field which is sensed by two potential electrodes. The choice of the appropriate sensor for an application de-pends on the needed measuring range.

In inductive conductivity measurement, a transmitter coil creates a magnetic alternating field which induces an electric voltage in the medium. This causes the positively or negatively charged ions in the fluid to be set in motion and an electric alternating current flows in the liquid. The resulting current generates a magnetic alternating field in the receiving coil. This causes an induction current in the coil which is evaluated and converted into conductivity units by the transmitter.

Critical applications for oxygen measure-ment in the Biotechnology and Pharma-ceutical industries include both low-level trace oxygen and high level satu-ration measurements. Trace level oxygen measurement is essential where oxygen creates a breeding ground for unwanted microbes or where oxygen may cause an increased corrosion problem. Typical applications are in high-purity water. The higher level oxygen measurements are needed in fermentation, cell culture and pharmaceutical production steps. The measurement can be used to check and regulate processes in order to optimize yield and quality of products. With a measuring range up to 20 mg/l, the po-larographic two-electrode sensor OOS21 covers all major applications in biotechnol-ogy and pharmaceutical industry.

Hygienic requirements and sterility are critical for oxygen measurement systems. In combination with the appropriate OPA442 fixed housing or OPA475 retrac-table housing the complete measuring sys-tem is designed to meet 3A and EHEDG guidelines.

Measuring principle

The polarographic two-electrode sen-sor consists of a working and a counter electrode located in an electrolyte filled measuring chamber. Through a selec-tive membrane, oxygen permeates from the process solution into the measuring chamber and is converted into a current at the working electrode. By a chemical equivalence reaction the counter electrode keeps the system running and the result-ing current response is in direct proportion to the oxygen partial pressure. The final conversion into familiar units of oxygen concentration, saturation or partial pres-sure is done in the related transmitter.

Optical measurement 09Electrochemical measurement08

Since the early 1980’s, when Wedgewood Analytical designed the first in-line process optical measurements for Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology industries, our systems have become the industry standard for ro-bustness, accuracy and reliability.

Wedgewood Analytical’s in-line process photometers are considered the industry standard in a variety of applications:

The Industry Standard• Chromatography control• Filter monitoring• Fermenter, cell growth control• Centrifuge control• Protein concentration• Biomass concentration

Wedgewood sensors provide direct, real-time measurement to control and monitor the processes without the need for pro-cess off-line sampling, thereby eliminat-ing the errors and high operational costs involved with off-line measurements. The combination of the low hold-up volume flow cell, optimized optical design and the unique measuring filter perfor-mance provides a very precise measure-ment, highest linearity and sensitivity and a direct correlation to lab results over the whole range of sensors. Additionally, all sensors are available with simple, trace-able calibration and verification capabilities.

One of the most critical UV applications is product purification by chromatographic separation. The separation over a column with an agent-active media requires high-ly specialized instruments to ensure maxi-mum yield and purity. Sensors for UV Absorption are available as single and dual wavelength instruments at discrete wavelengths between 206 and 365 nm for concentration determination of organic compounds.

Complete chromatography monitoring solution:• pH and conductivity • Optical UV for optimum product collection• NIR for solvent mixtures• Bubble detection

The UV absorption systems are also ideal for optimizing Ultrafiltration or Reverse Osmosis operations by measuring the tar-get agent concentration in the retentate as well as the detection of the product losses through the membrane leakage.

The BT65 system is an ideal solution for monitoring bacterial fermentation and mammalian cell culture applications using optical density. The sanitary and steriliz-able insertion probe design ranging from 12 mm to 25 mm diameters, allows use in both production scale and bench top systems.

The related 950 digital transmitter is pro-grammed with proprietary signal process-ing for minimum interference caused by aeration and agitation. This enables the operator to control the whole cell growth cycle and to take rapid actions for prevent-ing product losses when abnormal shifts or deviations appear.

Turbidity and solids measurements are performed either by the scattered light sensor TF10 for low-range or the NIR absorption sensor AF12 for higher range measurements. The AF12 system is ideal for measuring suspensions and for centrifuge control. The clarity monitoring of the centrate allows an optimized and automated discharge of the centrifuge and thereby avoids product losses. In contrast, the more sensitive turbidity sensor TF10 is used for detection of filter break-through in clarification processes.

NIR sensor AF23• Dual wavelengths measure- ment with compensation• Measures accurately water in organic solvent• Allows temperature compensated measurement• Hygienic and sterile flow cell design

Measuring principle

Absorption and scattered light photom-eters utilize principals which are based on the interaction of light with process fluids. The absorption photometers measure the degradation of light intensity when pass-ing through a process solution. According to the Lambert-Beer law there is a linear dependency between the absorption of light and the concentration of the absorb-ing substance. A light source emits radia-tion through the medium and the transmit-ted radiation is measured on the detector side. After passing a filter for wavelength selection the intensity of light is deter-mined by a photodiode and converted into a photo current. The final conversion into transmission (%) or absorbance (AU, OD) units, as well as product specific concen-trations, is done by the related transmitter.

The scattered light instruments use the characteristics of particles, which apart from absorbing light, cause a scattering of light as well. As in the absorbance instruments, a light source emits radiation through the medium and the transmitted radiation is measured on the detector side. Here, besides the detection of the direct light, the forward scattered light is also determined by several photodiodes. Based on the ratio of the scattered and direct light, the transmitter allows the detection of particles and turbidity at very low concentration.

Patented EasyCal™ and Precision Optical Pathlength (POPL)

The Precision Optical Pathlength (POPL) adjustment system allows the precise setting of the distance between the win-dows (the pathlength). The POPL system consists of adjustable window rings in the flowcell design and a certified measur-ing gauge that precisely determines the distance between the windows. This unique feature allows precise optical pathlengths down to 0.5 mm and results in an increased measuring range, a unique repeatability of measuring values, consistent readings between different instruments and fully comparable measur-ing values to lab results.

The combination of the POPL with an EasyCal™ offers the opportunity for a liquid-free, traceable calibration of the whole measuring system, and thus elimi-nates the need for time consuming calibra-tions with liquid standards.
