Applikon ADI 1030 Bio Controller with Sensor Cords

Applikon ADI 1030 Bio Controller with Sensor Interface Cords

The Applikon ADI 1030 Bio Controller is a compact, microprocessor-driven benchtop bioprocess control unit designed for real-time monitoring and closed-loop regulation of critical parameters in laboratory-scale bioreactors and fermenters. Capable of measuring and controlling up to four key bioprocess parameters simultaneously—typically pH, Dissolved Oxygen ($\text{dO}_2$), Temperature, and Level/Foam—the ADI 1030 uses modular sensor input channels and dedicated signal conditioning circuitry. Accompanied by a set of shielded sensor cords and temperature probes, this controller connects directly to standard electrochemical glass pH electrodes, polarographic dissolved oxygen sensors, Pt-100 resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), and conductivity level probes. Equipped with internal PID control algorithms and eleven total output channels, the ADI 1030 automates acid/base dosing pumps, gas solenoid valves, heating blankets, and cooling loops to maintain tight physiological homeostasis in microbial and cell culture bioprocesses.

Technical Performance & Structural Attributes

• Microprocessor-Driven Loop Control: Features an 8-bit central processing unit executing flexible firmware for simultaneous closed-loop regulation of up to four bioprocess variables.
• Dedicated Signal Conditioning Input Channels: Accepts low-noise analog signals from standard electrochemical pH sensors, polarographic $\text{dO}_2$ probes, Pt-100 RTDs, and conductive level/foam sensors.
• Comprehensive Output Array: Features 11 total output control channels (9 solid-state digital relay outputs and 2 analog outputs) for driving peristaltic pumps, gas solenoid valves, and heating elements.
• Shielded Sensor Interface Assembly: High-flexibility, noise-shielded sensor cords with industrial connectors protect sensitive millivolt signal transmissions against external electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• High-Contrast Digital LCD Display: Multi-line LCD screen presents real-time process values (PV), setpoints (SP), calibration offsets, and dosing statistics in real time.
