Burkert Microsensors: Precision and Partnership for Critical Laboratory and Medical Applications

In the life sciences, precision isn’t just a feature, it’s a necessity. Whether developing devices for clinical chemistry, hematology, dialysis, or endoscope reprocessing, manufacturers face the challenge of delivering accurate, repeatable results that directly impact patient care and scientific advancement.

Burkert’s innovative microsensors are designed to meet these demands, providing miniature, space-saving solutions that deliver reliable measurement and control for the most critical applications.

Compact, Adaptable, and Highly Accurate

Burkert microsensors are engineered for seamless integration into laboratory and medical devices, from stationary analysers to point-of-care systems. Their compact design offers manufacturers greater freedom in device architecture, while their robust construction ensures resistance to aggressive chemicals and the highest reliability, even under demanding operating conditions.

These microsensors precisely measure and monitor key parameters, conductivity, pH, free chlorine, ORP, turbidity, and specific ions (Na+, K+, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺), enabling accurate control of fluid processes. They also measure pressure and ultra-low flow rates, supporting advanced diagnostics and process safety across a range of device types.

Application Highlights

Clinical Chemistry: In clinical chemistry devices, Burkert microsensors ensure the correct composition and mixing of reagents, supporting accurate sample analysis and reliable results. Continuous monitoring and documentation help laboratories meet regulatory standards and maintain traceability.

Hematology: Precise measurement of conductivity and pH is vital for hematology analysers, where sample integrity and process reproducibility are critical. Burkert’s microsensors deliver high accuracy in small footprints, enabling efficient, reliable analysis and faster turnaround times.

Endoscope Reprocessing: Effective cleaning and disinfection are paramount in medical device reprocessing. Burkert’s sensors continuously monitor cleaning solution composition, ensuring the correct mixing ratio and preventing cross-contamination. Their adaptability allows integration into compact reprocessing units, supporting both process efficiency and patient safety.

Peritoneal Dialysis & Haemodialysis: Dialysis devices require precise mixing and monitoring of dialysate solutions. Burkert microsensors measure electrolyte composition and maintain the required purity, helping optimise treatment and increase patient safety. Their small size allows for flexible device design, while real-time monitoring ensures compliance with stringent medical standards.
