BCpreFerm by BlueSens is a complete analyzing system made for the analysis of metabolic processes. It is consisting of up to 6 CO2- and O2-senors, a BACCom data multiplexer and the FERMVis-software for automatic data recording.  By the modular structure of the system, BCpreFerm can be connected to shake flasks as well as to fermenters. BCpreFerm can also be added easily to existing bioreactors. In contradiction to central gas analyzers, the use of additional gas coolers, complicated lines, pumps and valves and the complicated processing of gases is no longer necessary. The CO2 and O2 sensors determine the respective gas concentrations continuously and directly in the fermenter or via a flow adapter.

Running continuous measurements of the CO2 and O2 contents in shake flasks and fermenters facilitates controlled trial conditions with simultaneous analysis of the metabolic processes. Oxygen or substrate limitations can be detected along with metabolic transpositions. Furthermore, a time specific analysis of the desired product is made possible. For improved comparability, the measurement system BCpreFerm can be used for shake flasks and fermenters.
