      Brooks Instrument has recently released a dedicated clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter tailored for bioprocessing, delivering an integrated solution for sterile non-intrusive flow monitoring on pharmaceutical pipelines.Traditional inline flow meters require pipeline cutting and direct contact with process fluids, which poses high risks of cross-contamination. Additional communication gateways also raise integration costs for production lines. This new meter adopts a non-invasive clamp-on design; its sensors only attach to the outer tubing surface without touching culture media or pharmaceutical liquids. Compatible with widely used single-use silicone and TPE tubing, it complies with GMP sterility standards and regulatory validation requirements, covering full bioprocess workflows including cell culture, chromatography filtration and final filling.Equipped with native EtherNet/IP industrial Ethernet, the device connects directly to factory PLC automation systems without extra converters, streamlining equipment integration. It features specialized diagnostic tools such as bubble detection, process alarm prompts and calibration reminders, alongside an embedded web interface. Operators can configure parameters and trace data on-site without dedicated software, supporting digital compliance management for pharmaceutical manufacturers.With a cleanroom-friendly crevice-free enclosure for easy sanitization, and complete process validation documentation, this lightweight meter serves as an optimal choice for online flow monitoring on single-use fluid pipelines in biopharma facilities.
