Level sensing probes ensure smooth
processing
Diba aspirate and dispensing sensing probes monitor empty and full conditions in analytical instruments, providing automatic alarms when processing fluid bottles have reached full or empty states
Diba aspirate and dispensing sensing probes monitor empty and full conditions, providing automatic control in analytical instruments, to alarm when processing fluid bottles have reached full or empty states In addition to allowing instrument software to detect and react to system status, the Diba fluoropolymer lined aspirate and dispense probes provide an inert, consistent fluid path with no possibility of leaks from tip to pump

Diba Level Sensing Probes accurately monitor sample levels in cuvettes, as well as waste, reagent, and buffer solutions, providing analytical instrument software the information needed to direct system changes.
Depending on the application, information from the probes can be used by the system to automatically stop processing until reagent or buffer solution is replenished or a waste bottle is emptied.
The compact probes require only a simple electrical connection and have no moving parts to fail, resulting in more reliable operation when compared to the bulky float switches traditionally used for level sensing.
The inner diameter of the Diba stainless steel probe can be lined with PTFE or FEP fluoropolymer tubing to create a single inert fluid path, eliminating the possibility of unwanted chemical interaction and the potential introduction of air along the entire length of the tube.
The design reduces carryover and improves wash capabilities, retaining the necessary flow characteristics for efficient system performance.
Conductive level sensing probes are available in a variety of standard sizes or custom configurations, operating as either aspirate only or dispense only probes, or as combination aspirate/dispense probes.
Customers can specify probe material, inside diameter (I.D.) and outside diameter (O.D.) with flush, angle cut or protruded tip designs.
Diba technical staff are available to assist in specifying configurations suited to any application.
Diba technology includes flared tubing assemblies, lined or coated aspirate dispense probes with level sensing, in-line heaters, and custom caps for reagent and waste bottles: services include fluid system development, prototypes, preventive maintenance kits, and custom extrusion.
