Title: Stefan Bardeck and a Sterile Sensor Receptacle for Single-Use Bioreactors.

Introduction

Stefan Bardeck is an inventor associated with Mettler-Toledo GmbH and based in Oberengstringen, CN. His listed patent concerns a sensor receptacle designed to let a conventional sensor monitor a single-use bioreactor while preserving the system’s sterility.

Latest Patents

Bardeck’s listed patent, “Sensor receptacle for using a conventional sensor with a single-use bioreactor while maintaining the sterility of the single-use bioreactor,” describes a pre-sterilized bioreactor with a reactor wall enclosing a chamber for fluid medium. The invention uses a receptacle connected to the reactor wall to hold a sensor and separate it from the chamber while allowing the sensor to detect an analyte in the medium.

The sensor has a threaded housing and a shaft with an analyte-permeable region at its distal end. A circumferential flange secures the receptacle to the reactor wall, and its internal thread receives the sensor housing’s external thread. The receptacle wall and sensor shaft extend into the chamber, with the receptacle wall maintaining separation between the sensor and the chamber. Bardeck is credited with 1 patent in the information provided.
