- the transfer of the sample from the reactor to a measuring unit not only results in a considerable risk of infection, but also in one unwanted time delay.
- drastic changes in the sample to be measured can sometimes occur, which lead to incorrect analysis results and therefore do not allow meaningful control of the culture liquid in the reactor.
- the immersion dialyzer described therein comprises a removable dialysis head with membrane holder and inlet and return channels extending through the dialysis head, as well as a mounting tube detachably connected to the dialysis head, through which the immersion dialyzer can be attached to the fermenter or a bypass.
