Welcome to Single Use Pressure Sensors page.  

PendoTech is proud to offer a line of single use pressure sensors that can be integrated
virtually into any bioprocess. They are the alternative low-cost solution for use with tubing and bioprocess containers to the existing stainless steel pressure sensors on the market. Now available in caustic resistant Polysulphone so they can be in-line during caustic sanitization processes (SEE APPLICATION NOTE).
See an article published on the sensors:
GEN: Disposable Large-Scale Pressure Sensors.

The pressure sensors can be integrated for pressure measurement and control
with both a PressureMAT™ System (monitor/transmitter) or PendoTECH Process Control System and depending on the number of sensors and process requirements. The data collected by these systems can be output to a PC or another data monitoring device. They also can be integrated into other pre-qualified 3rd partry monitors (adapters can be made by PendoTECH- contact us for details at request@pendotech.com.)

The pressure sensors are very accurate in the pressure ranges typically used
with flexible tubing and disposable process containers and are qualified for use to 75 psi.*

Hose barb design features

The design features no mold parting-line where the tubing is secured, which can be a source of leaks. The single barb shaft provides space for the hose to relax behind the barb, causing the tie-wrap to work like a drawstring. A tie-wrap placed over the antirotation device designed by Eldon James Corp. will lock the tubing, preventing it from becoming loose by a twisting motion. If a more secure fitting than a tie-wrap is required for higher pressure, either a BarbLock or Oetiker Clamp can be used, and they both give an very secure 360° radial compression seal.

PendoTECH Single Use Pressure Sensors -
for Smaller Scale Processes

They are offered in polycarbonate and polysulphone and have a male/female luer lock inlet/outlet ports and come with a cap on the female luer port for dead-end applications. With the universal luer fitting, they can be adapted to processes in different manners. A couple of examples are that they can be used in-line at low flow rates (1/16 or 1/8 inch tubing) or on a 1/4 or 3/8 inch barb fitting with luer port (see photos to right).

Now available in caustic resistant Polysulphone so they can be in-line during caustic sanitization processes (SEE APPLICATION NOTE).

The polycarbonate version is available sterile for aseptic connection to a process system after a system has been autoclaved or they may be gamma sterilized with process tubing or a disposable bioreactor.
