英国Aber Instruments  
英国Aber-instruments是上世纪80年代基于电容法开发出活细胞浓度在线分析仪，Aber活细胞浓度在线分析仪解决了微生物发酵过程和动植物培养过程中实时在线生物量的检测问题，在随后20多年的时间里一直是行业的领导者。

We have now built up a wealth of experience with all aspects of biomass monitoring and have rapidly gained recognition for our expertise in the development of instrumentation for biotechnology and brewing.

Aber invented and pantented a unique method for measuring live biomass and set up the company to exploit this technology in 1988.

The company's expertise in biomass measurement is supplemented by close links with the University of Wales, Aberystwyth where Professor Douglas Kell (now at The University of Manchester and also the new Chief Executive of BBSRC) &colleagues have extensive experience. http://dbkgroup.org

The Yeast Monitor is now established as the standard for on-line yeast concentration measurement in breweries and international companies such as Anheuser Busch, SABMiller, Inbev, Coors, Diageo, Heineken, Suntory and San Miguel have benefited from using the instrument.

The Biomass monitor is recognised as the online intsrument for viable cell mass by the worlds leading pharmaceutical companies such as Genetech, Novo, Biogen Idec,GlaxoSmithkline, Centocor, Sandoz, Eli Lilly and Genzyme.
