Biotechnology sensors

Know how to select and use sensors adapted to the biotechnological processes studied or used. Know and understand the concepts of operating limits, nominal range and maximum frequency of use.

Mathematics and physics

Physical sensors in biotechnology:

Basic sensor categories: temperature sensors (thermocouples, thermistors), flow sensors (volume and mass flowmeters for gases and liquids), pressure sensors (strain gauge, piezoelectric crystal, capacitance variation), foam level sensors (capacitive probe, conductive probe, thermal probe), optical detectors (CCD and CMOS technology, photomultiplier).

Physical-chemical sensors (pH, PO2, CO2),

biomass measurement,
gas analysis,
gas balances.
