1.1 System Overview
The YSI Multi-Channel Online Monitor is a fluid and data management device that is designed to withdraw samples from
up to eight bioreactors, fermentation vessels, fluid reservoirs, or liquid streams and deliver them to the YSI 2900 Series
Biochemistry Analyzer for on-line, real-time analysis and process monitoring. The Multi-Channel Online Monitor allows a
range of sample volumes to be obtained and rapidly delivered to distances up to 10 feet (3 meters) away. Other process
control and monitoring options can be realized using the Multi-Channel Online Monitor’s analog output and OPC
connectivity functions.
The Multi-Channel Online Monitor software is web-based software that is preloaded onto the system’s internal
processor. Because of this web-based design, the Multi-Channel Online Monitor can be remotely controlled,
configured, and monitored from any computer using a web browser and assigned IP network address. Additionally,
the software is 21 CFR, part 11 compliant and can be integrated to communicate seamlessly with other software
systems.
