Core offering

Broadley-James designs and manufactures precision pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), ORP/Redox, and conductivity sensors, along with bioreactors, for bioprocess and industrial applications. The product portfolio includes autoclavable and steam-sterilizable reusable sensors (FermProbe, OxyProbe) and gamma-irradiated single-use sensors (SingleSense brand: SG300, SU400, SU500, SU600, SU680, SU800), plus industrial-grade DynaProbe and ProcessProbe lines for harsh chemical process environments.

Product overview

Broadley-James Ltd is a manufacturer of precision sensors for science and industry, offering a comprehensive portfolio organized into single-use and reusable sensor lines. The single-use product line is branded as SingleSense and includes gamma irradiated sensors (SG300, SU400, SU500, SU600, SU680, SU800 series) for both upstream and downstream bioprocess applications, preinstalled into bioprocessing containers. The reusable/autoclavable line features FermProbe pH sensors, OxyProbe dissolved oxygen sensors, and ORP/Redox sensors built for steam sterilization and long operational life in bioreactors. For industrial applications, the company offers DynaProbe and ProcessProbe sensors (including 12mm variants) for pH, Redox, and dissolved oxygen measurement across horticulture, food and beverage, wastewater, pulp and paper, mining, petrochemical, and pool/spa industries. The portfolio is supported by transmitter instruments, sensor housings, cables, and DO membrane kits as accessories. The company also provides bioreactors for bioprocess applications. Headquartered in California with operations near London, Broadley-James serves global markets through a network of partners.
