A sensing device for sensing one or more conditions inside a container, comprising:
- a radio frequency based sensor comprising a sensing film;
- a support for positioning the sensor in operative proximity to the inside of the container, wherein the support is configured to receive the sensor on an end;
- an insert;
- and
- a pick-up coil coupled to the insert, wherein the pick-up coil is in operative association with the sensor,
- wherein the insert is configured to move in and out of another end of the support such that a distance between the pick-up coil and sensor is adjustable.
A sensing device for sensing one or more conditions inside a disposable container, comprising:
- a radio frequency based sensor, wherein the sensor is pre-calibrated;
- a pick-up coil in operative association with the sensor, and
- a support for positioning the sensor and the pick-up coil in operative proximity to one another.
