Single-Use Pressure Sensors
Created In A Certified Facility
Our PendoTECH Single-Use Pressure Sensors are manufactured in a FDA Registered, ISO 13485 certified facility, with a Class 100,000 cleanroom.
Accurate Static and Pressure Measurement
Our innovative PendoTECH Single-Use Pressure Sensors can help to streamline your bioprocessing, allowing for the accurate measurement of static and dynamic pressure of gases and liquids in your biopharmaceutical processes.
Overview
Our PendoTECH Single-Use Pressure Sensors measure static and dynamic pressure of gases and liquids in your processes accurately and cost effectively. They are perfect for filtration and chromatography processes, monitoring of glass and disposable bioreactors, filling operations and more. They feature the PendoTECH High Accuracy Pressure (MEMS-HAPTM) chips inside. The sensors connect to monitors via a 12-foot (3.7 m) reusable cable via integral watertight connector. Suitable monitors include PressureMAT monitor/transmitter, a PendoTECH Process Control System, or other pre-qualified third party monitors. They are the alternative low-cost solution for use with tubing to the existing stainless steel pressure transducers on the market.
