YSI Indonesia provides analyzers for bio analytes that are regarded as the gold standard in industry. YSI pioneered the measurement technique known as enzyme electrode sensing initially for measuring blood glucose and later developed the technology for a host of biochemical like dexdrose, lactate, starch etc.

YSI glucose and lactate analyzers have been used in hospitals for measurement of blood glucose and lactate for more than 25 years. This instrument is used now for diabetes research, exercise physiology. The YSI instrument is unmatched in the analytical science market for its accuracy, speed of measurement and precision. In fact more than 80% of manufacturers of glucometer use YSI life science instrument as their reference method. This instrument is also useful for measurements of analytes in cell culture.

In the production of food, control of key ingredients or unwanted by products is essential to the quality and safety of the products. For example the measurement of the ratio of dexdrose to sucrose will tell you when to process a potato to give a defined color and taste. HPLC and GC has been used to track these analytes but they are slow and expensive to operate. The YSI biochemistry analyser uses the enzyme sensor technology to give results in 1 minute. A recent application is the measurement of lactate and ethanol to quantify bacterial load. Food ingredients that can be measured are:

YSI biochemistry analyser are used by cell culture specialists and bioreactors all over the world and they regard it as their standard work horse. These instruments give them reliable readings, fast and accurate results and require minimal operator training. Bioprocessing requires tight control of the key nutrients and by products in order that they may grow and produce the target enzymes. This analyser can measure in lab or on line and can measure continuously up to 6 parameters. Common analytes measured are glucose, glutamine, glutamate, lactate ammonium and many more. On line analysis give trending which can be used to control or predict where your bioreactor is heading. For fully automatic control, feed pumps can be added for more complex monitoring and process control.

YSI Indonesia supplies biochemistry analyzers for biogas production plants and for biofuel research. This instrument can complement HPLC analysis and can give fast 1 minute results for fast response to changing conditions. YSI biochemistry analyzers have been used extensively in measuring residual ethanol in beer bottoms and monitoring xylose and glucose in saccharification and fermentation studies. Users like this instrument for ease of use and simplicity of maintenance as key advantages to help maintain ethanol production efficiency in plants especially for cellulosic bioethanol research studies.
