YSI 2950D-3 Modular Biochemistry Analyzer with Biosensor and ISE Modules

The YSI 2950D-3 Biochemistry Analyzer is a modular biosensor-based analytical instrument designed for precise, rapid quantification of key metabolites and ions in biological samples. Featuring three sensor modules—two biosensor and one Ion-Selective Electrode (ISE)—this analyzer supports simultaneous measurement of up to six chemistries with an enzyme response time of 60 seconds per module.

Key specifications include:

• Sample volume: 10–50 µL per module, compatible with 96-well plates, various test tube holders, and microcentrifuge tubes
• Analyte range: Glucose (0.05–25 g/L), Lactate (0.05–2.7 g/L), Glutamate (15–1460 mg/L), Glutamine (30–1169 mg/L), Glycerol (0.75–40 g/L), Xylose, Choline, Hydrogen Peroxide, Sucrose, Ethanol, Methanol, Lactose, and Galactose within defined detection limits
• Precision: Application-specific coefficient of variation (CV) typically under 2%
• Linearity: ±5% from calibration value to maximum concentration
• Flow rate: Adjustable inlet flow rate from 100 to 2500 µL/min
• Physical dimensions: 35.6 x 52.1 x 40 cm (W x D x H), weighs 17.7 kg (39 lbs)
• Modularity: User-configurable sensor modules allow tailored biochemical panel testing suitable for diverse laboratory workflows
• Consumables: Replaceable sensor probes, membranes, calibration standards, and buffer/waste bottles enable ease of maintenance and sustained performance

Applications of the 2950D-3 analyzer include:

• Monitoring glucose, lactate, and metabolite levels in mammalian cell culture bioprocessing and biotechnology research
• Fermentation analysis and quality control in food, beverage, and biofuel industries
• Molecular diagnostics and metabolic profiling in clinical research
• Synthetic biology and molecular cloning workflows requiring precise substrate and metabolite quantification

The unit’s modular biosensor technology is critical in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and widely adopted in synthetic biology research for rapid, accurate biochemical assays. Its compact footprint and flexible sample compatibility support integration into automated laboratory setups and high-throughput analytical workflows.

Included with the instrument are multiple caps for buffer and waste bottles (buffer/waste bottles and calibration fluids are consumables and must be procured separately), along with a standard power cord. Optional accessories include level sensors for reagent bottles and various tube racks to suit sample formats.

This pre-owned analyzer is fully serviced and supported with a warranty, after-sales technical support, and availability of installation consultation and training. It is an ideal choice for research professionals prioritizing measurement reliability, modularity, and operational efficiency in biochemical analysis relevant to biotechnology, clinical diagnostics, and bioengineering domains.
