Pumps & Sensors for Bioprocessing | Precise Flow and Monitoring Solutions

Efficient, accurate fluid control and real-time monitoring are vital in modern biopharmaceutical manufacturing. At Fluid Biosolutions, we deliver advanced pumps & sensors engineered for sterile, single-use systems and GMP-regulated environments. Whether you’re managing media and buffer preparation, fill-finish operations or closed-loop automation, our solutions provide the precision and reliability your process demands.

Why Pumps & Sensors Matter in Bioprocess Manufacturing

A robust bioprocess relies on two foundational elements: the correct delivery of fluids and rigorous monitoring of critical parameters. Pumps ensure controlled movement of liquids – such as media, buffer, reagents or final product – while sensors provide accurate real-time data on flow, temperature, pressure, conductivity and more. Together, they underpin closed-system bioprocessing, minimise contamination risk, and enable consistent yield and quality.

Industries from cell & gene therapy to large-scale fill-finish use these tools to maintain operational integrity, scale effectively and meet regulatory standards.

Common Applications in Upstream & Downstream Processes

• Upstream: media and buffer preparation, bioreactor feed, and cell cultivation. 
• Downstream: chromatography, filtration, final formulation, bulk filling. 
• Single-use systems: modular assemblies, bag-to-bag transfers, plug-and-play components. 
• Monitoring & control: real-time flow assessment, sensor feedback for automation, validation of process performance. 

By properly combining the right pump and matched sensor, you gain improved process control, less manual intervention, and stronger traceability – critical in regulated manufacturing.

What to Look For: Key Features of Modern Pumps & Sensors

1. Compatibility with Single-Use Systems
   Choose pumps and sensors that integrate seamlessly with disposable tubing and assemblies, reducing cross-contamination risk and simplifying validation.
2. Accurate Flow & Monitoring Data
   High-precision sensors (for example, ±2% accuracy) deliver reliable readings for volume, rate, pressure or temperature.
3. Cleanroom-Ready, GMP-Compliant Design
   Low particulate generation, easy clean or replaceability, compact design and documented performance are must-haves for regulated environments.
4. Flexible Integration & Connectivity
   Look for sensors with both analogue and digital outputs (4-10mA, 0-10V, Modbus, RS-485) and pumps that interface with control systems for closed-loop automation and traceability.
5. Built for Reliability & Validation
   Whether your process is research-scale or full production, devices should offer strong repeatability, low maintenance and clear validation documentation.

How to Choose the Right Pump & Sensor Combo

Start with your fluid system requirements:

• What tubing materials and sizes do you use? 
• What flow rate or volume is required? 
• What critical parameters need monitoring (flow, temperature, pressure, conductivity)? 
• What level of integration into automation or SCADA systems does your process need?
• Is your product shear sensitive and requires a gentle, low pulsation pump? 

Once you’ve defined these, match your system to a pump rated for your flow/viscosity demands and a sensor calibrated for your fluid and environment. Our team at Fluid Biosolutions can assist you in aligning the right solution to your workflow, scale and compliance needs.
