Filter Characterization (M)
Characterize a filter’s flow versus pressure drop curve using a flow meter and pressure controller.
Monitoring and Recording Bioreactor Output (MW)
Quantify the mass output of bioreactors without inducing backpressure.
Faster Leak Testing (M)
Measure leak rates during leak testing with 5 ms speed of response.
In-House Flow Verification of a Gas Chromatograph (MB)
Check primary and by-pass flows to maintain optimal GC performance.
Calibration of an Air Sampling Canister (MWB)
Low pressure drop enables non-intrusive volumetric flow calibration.
Bio-Series meters and controllers are designed and constructed specifically for mass flow control in bioreactors and fermenters, upstream or downstream. They offer the highest reliability in the industry, with communication protocols to integrate with your existing system. Alicat’s experience in process stages from benchtop R&D through GMP production of biologics and biosimilars ensure robust solutions that will scale with your development.
Reliable, adaptable, and compatible flow control, built to your preferred industrial protocols for Bio-Series integration with Pharma 4.0 systems

Stopping an operational process for validation or calibration is a necessary evil. Alicat’s portable flow calibrators make this procedure more palatable by reducing the downtime and disruption to your process. Instant-on and real-time readings for multiple gases across wide flow ranges let you get in and out quickly.
The versatile MBQ portable flow meter reduces the time it takes to verify or validate flows that are operating at high pressures (160-320 psia). Instant-on and real-time readings for multiple gases reduce the downtime and disruption to your process.
High-pressure, multivariate flow measurement in real time
The versatile MQ flow meter reduces the time it takes to verify or validate flows that are operating at high pressures (160-320 psia). Measure mass flow, volumetric flow, line pressure and line temperature simultaneously, all in real time.
High-accuracy, multivariate flow measurement with minimal system impact
“Whisper” series mass flow meters with low pressure drop are the perfect instruments for measuring mass and volumetric flow rates. Low pressure drop minimizes system impact, enabling flow measurement at near-atmospheric pressures or when there is little available system pressure. A very wide usable flow range and on-board calibrations for multiple gases will keep this flow meter in operation for a long time.
