This sample treating device 1000 is provided with: a treating stage 110 for treating a sample by mixing the sample and a plurality of solutions; a first motor 812 for rotating the treating stage 110 around a first rotation shaft 810; a second motor for rotating the treating stage 110 around a second shaft 820; and a control unit for controlling the rotations of the treating stage driven by the first rotary motor 812 and the second motor. The control unit combines the operation of rotating the treating stage 110 around the first rotation shaft 810 and the operation of rotating the treating stage 110 around the second rotation shaft, thereby treating the sample.

A reactor module includes a lower body, an upper body, a top cover and a culture vessel. The lower body defines and surrounds a bottom space that has an upper opening. The upper body is detachably connected atop the lower body. The top cover is disposed atop the upper body, and cooperatives with the upper body to define a receiving space that is disposed above the bottom space. The culture vessel is removably received in the receiving space, defines a culture reservoir, and includes a film member that is disposed under the culture reservoir, and that blocks the upper opening of the bottom space.

Systems and methods provide a self-contained sealed apparatus that captures, filters, compresses and stores methane gas produced by the decomposition of bio-degradable organic materials. The system includes a rotatable and sealable chamber with an intermittent drive unit that mixes moist bio-degradable material during an anaerobic reaction, and captures methane gas generated by anaerobic decomposition. A filter to remove impurities, a low-pressure storage tank, a compressor and a high-pressure storage tank are interconnected and controlled by a system that monitors system parameters, that may include gas flow rate, temperature, and gas volume, and controls system parameters, that may include drive unit activation, generator operation, and compressor operation.

The present invention provides for a method and transport system for conditioning micro algae grown in a commercial farm and transporting to a final destination while maintaining conditions that allow the microalgae to remain alive and healthy during transit.

The present invention relates to a method and system for aseptic material transfer from a storage container to a bioreactor. More precisely the invention relates to a method and system for aseptically transferring dry material, such as microcarriers for cell cultivation, to a bioreactor, comprising transferring microcarriers from a first container housing said microcarriers to a bioreactor for cell cultivation via r transfer tubing connecting the first container to the bioreactor, wherein the transfer is accomplished with pressurized air or gas supplied to the container.

The invention is comprised among apparatus and/or devices for manipulating and handling fluids. The invention relates to the integration of these apparatus and/or devices in a system for manipulating and/or handling any type of fluids. Specifically, the invention relates to a disposable cartridge and a platform cooperating with one another in a flexible system for manipulating fluids, as well as a flexible system for manipulating fluids. More particularly, the present invention is intended for culture cells.

The invention relates to a bioprocessing system having a main line (2) for conduction of a main flow (3) of a liquid, in particular biological, medium (45), having a main flow pump (5) for generation of the main flow (3) and having a system part (46) connected to the main line (2). What is proposed is that the bioprocessing system (1) comprises a powder transfer system (8) for metered delivery, in particular dust-free metered delivery, of an additive (47) and a feed line (9) which is connected to the powder transfer system (8) and which opens into the main line (2) at a feed point (10) and which comprises a return flow preventer (11) for prevention of a return flow of liquid medium (45), that the powder transfer system (8) feeds the additive (47) into the feed line (9) in powder form and drives it toward the feed point (10) by means of a pressurized transport gas (12) and that at least some of the fed additive (47) is input into the liquid medium (45) within the main line (2) downstream of the feed point (10) before the liquid medium (45) enriched with the additive (47) passes through or reaches the system part (46) connected to the main line (2).

The present invention relates to a cell culture device (1) for use with an optical microscope (40), comprising a housing (10) that is configured to be placed onto a stage of an optical microscope (40) in front of an objective (41) of the microscope (40), the housing (10) enclosing an internal space (11) of the housing (10), a removable flow chamber (2) enclosing an internal space (20) for accommodating a cell culture (CC) comprising living biological cells, a heater (3) arranged in the internal space (11) of the housing (10) for heating said fluid medium (M) to be guided through the flow chamber (2), a first flow path (P1) arranged in the internal space (11) of the housing (10) for guiding said fluid medium (M) towards the flow chamber (2) via said heater (3), and a second flow path (P2) arranged in the internal space (11) of the housing (2) for guiding said fluid medium (M) away from the flow chamber (2), and a pump (4) for pumping said fluid medium (M) through the first flow path (P1) into the internal space (20) of the flow chamber (2) and through the second flow path (P2) out of the internal space (20) of the flow chamber (2) when the flow chamber (2) is inserted into the internal space (11) of the housing (10).

A system for performing a gas-liquid mass transfer includes a container bounding a compartment and having a top wall, a bottom wall, and an encircling sidewall extending therebetween. A tube has a first end and an opposing second end, the first end of the tube being disposed within the compartment of the container. A nozzle is disposed within the compartment of the container and has at least one outlet, the nozzle being coupled with the tube so that a gas can be passed through the tube and out the at least one outlet of the nozzle. The nozzle is sufficiently buoyant so that when a fluid is disposed within the compartment of the container, the nozzle floats on the fluid.
