The growing popularity of Single Use Technology and continuous bioprocessing is changing the biopharmaceutical industry and directly impacting plant engineering designs. This trend is resulting in smaller equipment footprint and substantially reduced cleaning requirements, especially in cGMP environments.
Implementing a continuous, non-contact, contamination-free and highly accurate upstream and downstream process monitoring guarantees process stability and increases overall efficiency. SONOTEC’s line of flow meters and air bubble detectors offer optimal support in complying with the regulatory goals of the Process Analytical Technology (PAT) framework.
The SONOFLOW CO.55 non-contact flow sensor measures liquid flow rates accurately and reliably in flexible plastic tubing. The clamp-on design and non-invasive measurement principle allows for repeatable use. The CO.55 is available in anodized aluminum or stainless steel housing.
The SONOFLOW IL.52 is an inline flow sensor that can measure ultra-low flow rates. This highly accurate flow meter is designed as a built-in component for machines and equipment. It is easily installed and can be electrically integrated into the control system.
The SONOCHECK ABD06 is a contact-free air bubble detector ideally suited for continuous bubble monitoring and full/empty detection. The highly accurate sensor is an effective instrument to increase process stability and quality.

CO.55 V2 Clamp-On Flow Sensors
Sonotec CO.55 V2-series clamp-on sensors make it easy to measure flows with accuracy up to +/-1.5%. These devices offer several measuring modes, including real-time flow monitoring, volume totalizing, volume dosing switching output and flow switch switching output.
Two options are available:
IL.52 V2 Inline Sensors
IL.52 V2 inline sensors are made for low-flow applications down to 0.4 ml/min. They feature a PEEK (polyetheretherketone) measurement channel with excellent chemical compatibility, mechanical stability and resistance to high temperatures and FFKM (perfluoroelastomer) seals. Available outputs include RS485, ModBus, NON/PNP, 0-20kHz and 4-20ma connections.
Many factors determine which sensor will best match your specific application. Key considerations include details like the tube composition plus the inner and outer diameter. You also need to understand flow volume and voltage requirements, as well as whether you need built-in bubble detection capability.
You can narrow your search further by identifying additional performance requirements. This includes details like the media you want to measure and minimum/maximum ranges for temperature, flow rate and pressure. Additionally, you can choose whether you want an inline or clamp-on device:
