Promass U 500 is the ideal single-use flowmeter for biopharmaceutical applications in the life sciences industry. It represents the response to the shift from multi-use to single-use devices and from batch to continuous manufacturing. Offering multivariable measurement, Promass U 500 provides enhanced reliability, high accuracy, and industry compliance according to cGMP. The flowmeter is especially suited for up- and downstream applications in the monoclonal antibodies (mAb) process. The sensor comprises a disposable part, available in four line sizes, and a permanently installed base unit, fitting all line sizes. Heartbeat Technology automatically recognizes the flow range and verifies the validity of the factory calibration after installation. This simplifies commissioning and eliminates the need for calibration in the field. Equipped with built-in web server, WLAN, and up to 4 I/Os, the transmitter provides easy operation and additional process and device information.
Single-use specialist for Biotech applications, with a remote version with up to 4 I/Os. Modern fieldbus communication protocols (2-wire). Highest measurement performance for liquids in single-use processes for the Life Sciences Industry.
