The -BIO series units are said to offer the highest reliability in the industry, have a lifetime warranty and resistance to in-line water contamination.

Based on Alicat’s solid state sensor design, these units feature ultra-fast response times as low as 10ms to enable Pharma 4.0; controllable ranges exceeding 2000:1, often eliminating the need for multiple gas lines. Accuracy is said to be as low as .1% of full scale or .5% of reading.

All Alicat -BIO controllers and meters include features tailored to the unique needs of the bioprocessing/biopharmaceutical industry. 

• USP Class VI FDA-grade corrosion resistant elastomers are standard to prevent contamination of fragile bioreaction environments. 
• 316L stainless steel construction of flow bodies and elements are standard to meet BPE-2016 requirements. 
• High-speed EtherCAT or EtherNet/IP interfaces are an option to meet or exceed Pharma 4.0 requirements
• An ultrasharp, modern colour display is present to provide at a glance understanding of process status. 
• Every unit has features such as 'gas select' – which allows any unit to be used with CO2, Air, O2, N2 or over 100 other gases with no loss of precision or need for recalibration. 
• Units also include 'drive display', allowing new ways to monitor the health of your gas flow process. 
• IP66 ingression protection is available as an option, should your operating environment demand it. 

Every -BIO is available with a wide range of build options, process connections, protocols and digital interfaces to match almost every bioreactor design. The Bio series is suitable for many types of bioreactors and bioprocess applications; biologics production, biosimilar development, biofuel production, and nuticeutical development.
