Magellan Tandem Gas Analyser

• Monitoring gas composition in bioreactors and fermenters for cell culture and microbial growth.
• Analysing metabolic flux in biological systems.
• Controlling gas environments in laboratory incubators and glove boxes.
• Research and development in biotechnology and life sciences.
• Quality control in processes requiring precise gas atmosphere management.

Typical analytes

Commonly measures O₂ and CO₂; some models may offer additional gas detection.

Measurement principle

Often employs non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) for CO₂ and electrochemical or paramagnetic sensors for O₂.

Response time

Typically offers a rapid response time for dynamic process monitoring.

Connectivity

Commonly features digital and analogue outputs for integration with control systems or data logging.

Power supply

Units of this class typically operate on standard laboratory power, e.g., 230V AC, 50Hz for UK use.

Calibration

Requires periodic calibration using certified gas mixtures to maintain accuracy.

• What is the primary function of a Magellan Tandem Gas Analyser?

  The Magellan Tandem Gas Analyser is primarily designed for monitoring specific gas concentrations, commonly oxygen (O₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), in gas streams, often within biological or chemical processes.

• Can this unit be integrated with existing control systems?

• What maintenance is typically required for a gas analyser?

• Is this unit suitable for continuous operation?

• What gases can this specific unit detect?

Gas analyzers and detectors are regarded as essential precision instruments in pharmaceutical and biotech laboratories. Buyers typically prioritise calibration records and maintenance history when purchasing used equipment. These instruments are valued for their accuracy, repeatability, and reliability in critical analytical processes. Key considerations include ensuring proper documentation of service intervals, verifying sensor functionality, and confirming compatibility with existing laboratory systems. Well-maintained units often perform comparably to new equipment at considerably lower cost, making them attractive for budget-conscious facilities requiring validated analytical capability.
