Abstract

An interface for coupling a dissolved oxygen sensor to a single-use bioreactor container is provided. A dissolved oxygen (DO) window membrane is operably coupled to the single-use container and configured to position a DO sensor at least partially within the single-use container. In some embodiments, a DO window body mounts the DO window membrane at a distal end thereof. The DO window body can include a slide lock for facilitating positioning of a DO sensor within the DO window body. Additionally, the DO window body may include at least one heat exchange fin.
