Reusable Process Pressure Sensor

Today’s single-use challenge in the pharma and biotech industries is managing large volumes of single-use materials that need to be disposed of or recycled, which has led to escalating costs.  Despite this, single-use products remain preferred for their ability to eliminate the high costs associated with cleaning and chemical disposal.

CST is excited to introduce our new single-use sensor, designed to be cleaned, autoclaved, and reused in your R&D and product development projects. Our innovative pressure sensor features a durable stainless steel body and a replaceable M12 cap/PCB assembly that can withstand cleaning and autoclaving with a minimum of five times without degradation.

This design not only reduces your Single Use costs but also ensures reliable and accurate pressure readings ranging from -10 PSI to 100 PSI. The M12
replacement cap, which includes the sensor and PCB, can be easily swapped by removing two screws and replacing the M12 cap and sensor assembly while maintaining its performance through a minimum of five (5) autoclave cycles.

For your cGMP requirements, we offer a full range of innovative single-use pressure sensors with our patented pending designs in various hose barb and Tri-Clamp fittings. These sensors are designed without glue, preventing any risk of contamination or process degradation. We also offer our new pressure transmitter that is available as a single or multichannel input including an output for your TMP (Transmembrane Pressure).
