摘要:
A method for non-invasive growth measurement of organisms in an apparatus for growing and harvesting organisms or substances derived from such organisms. The organisms are comprised in an aqueous medium in a vessel, the method comprising the steps of: a) Providing means for measuring the opacity of the aqueous medium in order to estimate a growth rate of the organisms; b) The means for measuring the opacity are arranged in the apparatus such that they are located at predetermined locations relative to the vessel; c) The means for measuring the opacity are calibrated to account for refraction, absorbance and reflection caused by the vessel at the predetermined location. Finally the method also allows for measuring the opacity of the aqueous medium at the predetermined location.
摘要:
The present invention provides a photobioreactor comprising at least one translucent flexible sheet shapable by a support assembly forming thereby an elongated channel adapted for biomass production therewithin. Kits for making a photobioreactor and a floatable photobioreactor are also provided.
摘要:
Biomass production apparatus is disclosed and comprises a stack of trays, each tray, in use, being in receipt of a respective layer of liquid, the layers being spaced apart from one another such that each layer has associated therewith a respective headspace. Light sources are provided for each layer and are disposed in the headspace associated with said each layer, to illuminate, at least in part, said each layer.
摘要:
A culture container includes a first transparent member being capable of keeping a predetermined temperature; a second transparent member facing to the first transparent member; a housing member to which the first transparent member and the second transparent member are adhered forming a culture space being capable of housing a well plate together with the first transparent member and the second transparent member; and a sealing member for sealing a liquid injected into the culture space between the first transparent member and the housing member.
