YSI 2950 D-1: high-precision biochemical analyser
The YSI 2950 D-1 is a benchmark instrument in the field of biochemical analysis. Designed to meet the needs of a wide range of sectors such as biotechnology, agri-food, biofuels and medical research, it stands out for its speed and accuracy. Its technology is based on patented enzyme electrodes that exploit the natural specificity of enzymes for a given analyte. This approach delivers reliable results in approximately 60 seconds, while minimising the interference commonly encountered in complex samples.
Thanks to its modular design, the YSI 2950 D-1 can be configured to measure up to four chemical parameters simultaneously, with scalability to six parameters on the full 2950 platform. It is therefore a flexible solution, suitable for laboratories seeking efficiency and analytical performance.
Applications of the YSI 2950 D-1 in industry and research
The YSI 2950 D-1 is widely used in bioprocess monitoring, particularly for offline or online control of cell cultures in biopharmaceutical or biotechnology production. It can be used to monitor essential analytes such as glucose, lactate, glutamine, glutamate, ammonium and potassium. In the food industry, it is used to quickly analyse product quality, particularly for measuring sugars, alcohols and electrolytes.
In the medical and sports fields, it is the tool of choice for researchers studying metabolism, physiology and glucose and lactate-related pathologies. The reliable results obtained without complex sample preparation reinforce its usefulness in environments where accuracy and speed are critical.
Ergonomics, modularity and connectivity of the YSI 2950 D-1
The YSI 2950 D-1 offers an intuitive user interface with a touchscreen and icon-based navigation, making it quick and easy to use. The data generated can be easily exported via USB, Ethernet, RS232 or integrated directly into databases or management systems thanks to OPC compatibility. The design of its fluidic system greatly reduces the risk of clogging, even in the presence of samples with high cell density, thus reducing maintenance time and optimising productivity.
Its compact, modular design allows for easy bench-top integration, while offering scalability according to the analytical needs of the laboratory. Additional modules, such as the ISE (Ion Selective Electrode) option, further enhance the measurement capabilities. In addition, the device is CE and RoHS compliant and meets the requirements of 21 CFR Part 11, making it a suitable solution for environments subject to good manufacturing practices (cGMP).
