    摘要: A method and system for controlled rate freezing and nucleation of materials is provided. The presently disclosed system and method provides the ability to rapidly cool the materials contained in vials or other containers within a cooling unit via forced convective cooling using a laminar and uniform flow of cryogen in proximity to the plurality of vials disposed within the cooling unit. The rapid cooling of the biological materials is achieved by precisely controlling and adjusting the temperature of the cryogen being introduced to the system as a function of time. The presently disclosed methods to systems also provide nucleation control via temperature quench and depressurized nucleation control.

    摘要: A method and system for controlled rate freezing and nucleation of biological materials is provided. The presently disclosed system and method provides the ability to rapidly cool the materials contained in vials or other containers within a cooling unit via forced convective cooling and optionally simultaneous pressure drop using uniform and unidirectional flow of cryogen in proximity to the plurality of vials disposed within a cooling unit. The rapid cooling of the biological materials is achieved by precisely controlling and adjusting the temperature of the cryogen being introduced to the system as well as the chamber pressure as a function of time.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for micro-aeration of large scale fermentation systems is provided. The micro-aeration system includes a fermentation reactor, a sparging apparatus, and a micro-aeration gas mixture delivered to the fermentation reactor via the sparging apparatus. The micro-aeration gas mixture is a very low oxygen concentration mixture comprising: (i) an oxygen containing gas; and (ii) an inert carrier gas or reactive carrier gas that is recycled through the fermentation reactor. The gas mixture is introduced to the fermentation reactor at a minimum superficial velocity of about 0.04 m/sec to produce a uniform dispersion of the oxygen throughout the fermentation broth while concurrently mixing the entire fermentation broth. For a reactive gas consuming fermentation process, the amount of reactive carrier gas included as part of the gas mixture exceeds the reaction stoichiometric requirements in order to provide sufficient dispersion and agitation of the broth.

The inert carrier gas is preferably nitrogen whereas the oxygen containing gas is oxygen or and is introduced to the fermentation reactor at a minimum superficial velocity of about 0.02 m/sec to produce a uniform dispersion of the oxygen/air throughout the fermentation broth while concurrently mixing the entire fermentation broth. The micro-aeration method and apparatus further comprises a controller operatively coupled to one or more control valves for regulating the micro-aeration conditions in the fermentation reactor.

    摘要: A system and method for improved cryogenic cooling of process gases is provided. The disclosed system and method provides for the cryogenic cooling of a silane and hydrogen gas process stream during the manufacture of polysilicon with concurrent recovery of refrigeration capacity from the vaporized nitrogen as well as the recovery of refrigeration capacity from the cold hydrogen gas stream. The improved cryogenic cooling system and method reduces the overall consumption of liquid nitrogen without sacrificing cooling performance of the cryogenic cooling of the silane and hydrogen gas process stream.

    摘要: A disposable mixing vessel incorporates a system for dynamic gas control. The disposable mixing vessel includes a first agitating element and a second agitating element located above the first agitating element. The system for dynamic gas control enables a cell culture process to occur in the disposable mixing vessel while maintaining certain parameters of the liquid medium to be within a desired range. Such parameters may include the level of dissolved carbon dioxide, the level of dissolved oxygen, the pH and the osmolality. The system for dynamic gas control may control gas inlet and outlet ports in the disposable mixing vessel for sweeping a suitable composition of gas across the headspace of the liquid medium.
