Unique, highly accurate and revolutionary: SONOTEC presents flow meter with touch display at international biotechnology exhibitions

SONOTEC, the leading specialist for ultrasonic technology, will be demonstrating the extended series of the SONOFLOW CO.55 SD V3.0 flow meter at booth #2801 at INTERPHEX, the leading international exhibition for pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. Just one week later, industry professionals can experience the unique sensor at the GMP PharmaCongress with accompanying exhibition GMP PharmaTechnica Expo in Wiesbaden, Germany.

Designed particularly for biotechnology applications, the stainless steel sensor is a milestone in non-contact flow measurement. It combines maximum accuracy and reliability with intuitive operation. The clean room compatible touch display provides an overview of a number of critical parameters such as flow direction, real-time flow data, and selected status information. The touch display not only allows for quick flow and volume data checks, but also for data resets or incremental adjustments in the process – without the need for additional hardware.
“With the new clamp-on flow meter SONOFLOW CO.55 SD V3.0, we are offering something completely new and unique on the market that can significantly increase the efficiency of liquid management in bioprocess technology. For the first time, it is possible to check or reset flow data via the touch display of a flow sensor. Process engineers do not need to start any additional software or check the PLC system for flow or volume data. A quick glance at the sensor's display is all it takes to check the status. This is easy and convenient for work in the laboratory or in GMP production”, says Nico Polley, Product Manager for the non-contact clamp-on flow meter series SONOFLOW CO.55 at SONOTEC GmbH.

Excellent measurement accuracy
The SONOFLOW CO.55 V3.0 series was developed with a focus on the low flow range in process development, CGT and Fill & Finish and impresses with excellent measurement results at flow rates below 40 ml/min. Extensive testing has confirmed that the ultrasonic sensor achieves an accuracy of 1% and better at the lowest flow rates.

Sensor for the application in high-purity GMP processes
SONOTEC offers the ultrasonic sensor in different sizes for the most common bioprocess tubing to meet the growing demand for higher process scalability and flexibility in biopharmaceutical production. The stainless steel housing is ideal for single-use and hybrid GMP environments with strict hygiene standards. The clamp-on technology offers the possibility to measure flow rates on flexible tubing from the outside, eliminating any risk of contamination. Thanks to its high corrosion resistance, the stainless steel housing is the preferred choice for environments with strict disinfection and sterilization requirements. This way, the new SONOFLOW CO.55 SD V3.0 stainless steel sensor not only increases efficiency, but also helps to ensure process and product quality throughout the entire manufacturing cycle.

SONOTEC will present the new SONOFLOW CO.55 SD V3.0 sensor from April 1^st to 3^rd, 2025 at booth #2801 at INTERPHEX in New York, USA. Meet the company also at the GMP PharmaTechnica Expo from April 8^th to 9^th, 2025 in Wiesbaden, Germany at booth #A30.
