Description
The Xylem YSI 2950D-2 is a fully modular, benchtop biochemistry analyzer designed for rapid and accurate measurement of multiple analytes in a single run. Built on YSI’s proprietary immobilized enzyme electrode biosensor technology, the instrument leverages the inherent specificity of enzymes to deliver analyte-specific results in 60 seconds or less with minimal interference. The 2950D-2 configuration comes equipped with three biosensor modules, enabling simultaneous measurement of up to six chemistries. Its unique anti-clogging fluidics system makes it well-suited for complex sample matrices including high-density cell cultures. Featuring a touchscreen graphical user interface and a compact footprint, the analyzer is ideal for bioprocess monitoring, cell culture research, fermentation, and food and beverage quality control applications.
Features:
- 3 Biosensor Modules Installed: Three user-installable modules support up to two analytes each, enabling simultaneous measurement of up to six chemistries in a single sample run.
- Proprietary Enzyme Electrode Technology: Immobilized enzyme electrodes exploit the natural selectivity of enzymes for target analytes, providing rapid, accurate, and largely interference-free measurements.
- Fast Results: Delivers analyte-specific readings in 60 to 195 seconds depending on chemistry configuration.
- Anti-Clogging Fluidics: Unique chamber and fluidics design resists clogging even when processing high cell density samples.
- Small Sample Volume: Requires only 10–50 µL of sample per analysis, minimizing sample consumption.
- Touchscreen Interface: Intuitive graphical user interface with touchscreen display for easy operation and protocol management.
- Microplate and Tube Holder Compatibility: Accommodates both standard microplates and tube holders for flexible sample loading.
