Kuhner TOM Online Measurement

Online measurement of OTR, CTR and RQ for shake flask cultivations

The Kuhner TOM (Transfer Rate Online Measurement) provides online oxygen transfer rate (OTR), carbon dioxide transfer rate (CTR), and respiratory quotient (RQ), allowing for data driven decision making using high value physiological data.

Reliable and reproducible data is provided from a fully automated setup, 24/7 without additional manual work. Simply connect your existing shake flask and minimize downtime and costs for extra consumables.

The Kuhner TOM provides the user with a better understanding of any bioprocess and allows for more efficient and effective optimization during process development. It is easily installed in any Kuhner shaker and is compatible with a variety of different shake flask types and sizes, including single use shake flasks.

Thermophilic Organisms
The Kuhner TOM is now available with an extended temperature range of up to 58°C option. Cultivation temperatures above 40°C are typically required for growing thermophilic organisms or for biodegradation processes. This option is also retrofittable to existing Kuhner TOMs.
