Xylem YSI 2950D-2 Biochemistry Analyzer with 3 Biosensor Modules for Multi-Analyte Metabolite Testing

The Xylem YSI Incorporated 2950D-2 Biochemistry Analyzer is a precision instrument designed for rapid and accurate measurement of key metabolic analytes critical for biotechnology, bioprocessing, and cell culture monitoring. Equipped with three biosensor modules, it supports analysis of up to six chemistries simultaneously, with two analytes measurable per module.

Key technical specifications include:

• Sample volume: 10–50 µL per module, ideal for conserving precious biological samples in molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology workflows.
• Response time: Enzyme measurement results within 60 seconds for one module and up to 135 seconds for all three modules, facilitating real-time process control.
• Measurement range covers clinically and industrially relevant metabolites including glucose (0.05–25 g/L), lactate (0.05–2.7 g/L), glutamate, glutamine, glycerol, xylose, choline, hydrogen peroxide, sucrose, ethanol, methanol, lactose, and galactose. These analytes are critical biomarkers in fermentation process control, biopharmaceutical manufacturing, and biofuel production monitoring.
• Precision: Application-specific with typical coefficient of variation (CV) less than 2%.
• Sample accommodation: Flexible with compatibility for 96-well plates, and 4, 8, and 24-place test tube holders, and microcentrifuge tubes for diverse laboratory workflows.
• Physical dimensions: Compact footprint (35.6 x 52.1 x 40 cm) and light weight (17.7 kg), suitable for pilot plants and lab environments.

The analyzer utilizes advanced biosensor technology to ensure high selectivity, reliable enzymatic detection, and stable operation, making it essential for molecular cloning workflows, synthetic biology research, and critical monitoring of metabolic pathways in both microbial and mammalian cultures. Optional accessories include level sensors for buffer and waste bottles and customizable tube racks to optimize workflow integration.

This instrument supports streamlined bioprocess monitoring by providing real-time metabolic data critical for optimizing fermentation yields, nutrient feeding strategies, and overall biomanufacturing productivity. The 2950D-2 is widely adopted in biomedical engineering and molecular diagnostics research labs.

The provided package includes the analyzer with three biosensor modules and essential accessory caps for buffer, waste, and calibration bottles (consumables such as membranes and probes require replacement by the user). The system undergoes rigorous service and calibration testing prior to shipment and is covered by a continental US 120-day warranty and 60-day international warranty, ensuring dependable long-term performance in demanding research and industrial contexts.

This biochemistry analyzer is a robust analytical solution supporting critical functions in live-cell imaging studies, fluorescence analysis workflows, and metabolite quantification essential for advanced biotechnology and life science applications.
