Overview.

The QIC BioStream is a special system configuration offered for fermentation off-gas analysis. It includes application specific process analysis software including OPC server technology, with calculation of OUR (oxygen uptake rate), CER (carbon dioxide expiration rate) and RQ (respiratory quotient).

Special options include an integrated selected sample stream flow meter to enable accurate analysis of the key fermentation parameters. The OPC server technology makes data transfer of the concentration of multiple gases on multiple streams together with derived parameters for each stream straightforward.

The QIC BioStream and QIC Multistream systems feature OPC connectivity for output of raw and derived values, for example OUR, CER and RQ, with up to 80 stream capability.
