Disclosed herein are platforms, systems, and methods including a cell culture system that includes a cell culture container comprising a cell culture, the cell culture receiving input cells, a cell imaging subsystem configured to acquire images of the cell culture, a computing subsystem configured to perform a cell culture process on the cell culture according to the images acquired by the cell imaging subsystem, and a cell editing subsystem configured to edit the cell culture to produce output cell products according to the cell culture process.

An analytical instrument having a sensing system, a stage adapted to receive a sample carrier, a motion actuator assembly for positioning the sensing system and/or the stage, a temperature control element, and a signal processing module are disclosed. Methods of analyzing cell samples with the analytical instrument are also disclosed.

A bioprocess device assembly includes at least a first bioreactor and a second bioreactor, and a transfer system for transferring a certain volume of a medium contained in the first bioreactor into the second bioreactor. A biomass sensor is associated to the first bioreactor. A control unit is configured for receiving measurement data from the biomass sensor and controlling the transfer system. An inoculation method makes use of such a device assembly wherein the biomass sensor measures at least one parameter of biomass contained in the first bioreactor; the biomass sensor sends measurement data to the control unit; and the control unit evaluates the measurement data and, based on an evaluation of the measurement data decides whether the viable cell density is sufficient for inoculation, determines a necessary inoculation volume, and controls the transfer system to transfer the determined inoculation volume from the first bioreactor into the second bioreactor.

Disclosed are a method and a device for determining an operating condition of a bioreactor. Each of the method and the device receives N experimental data sets, models the bioreactor using the N experimental data sets to construct a bioreactor model, and determines an optimal operation condition based on an operation scheme of the bioreactor, using the constructed bioreactor model.

A technique for learning and steering evolutionary dynamics may include initializing a bioreactor including a population of evolving organisms; determining selection pressures; (a) applying the selection pressures to the population; (b) determining the population state and storing it in a population dataset; (c) detecting whether the population has reached a stable state; (d) if the population has reached the stable state: obtaining data representing the stable state, redetermining the selection pressures based on a selection pressure policy, and storing the data and the redetermined selection pressures in a stable state dataset; (e) determining whether one or more stopping criteria have been met; and repeating steps (a)-(e) until at least one of the stopping criteria is met.

Embodiments relate to a unique design of a cell growth vessel stack system that provides for inter-communication of cell growth levels arranged in a parallel configuration so to facilitate environmental uniformity of the inter-connected growth surface tiers. The unique design also facilitates a fine-tuning of optimized gas and media flow to each cell growth level within the vessel stack. The unique architecture facilitates media refreshment at conveniently scheduled intervals and/or allows constant perfusion from a media reservoir that can be replenished without interrupting the cell proliferation rate. The perfusion rate, nutrient medium condition, CO2 content and osmolality can be controlled to optimize the desired cell proliferation rate, thereby improving cell quantity, quality, and viability.

The disclosure provides systems and methods for producing a cannabinoid product, which comprises contacting a cannabinoid precursor in a first phase with a cannabinoid synthase in a second phase, wherein the first phase and the second phase are substantially immiscible or immiscible. The disclosure also provides a composition comprising the cannabinoid precursor in a first phase and a cannabinoid synthase in a second phase, wherein the first phase and the second phase are substantially immiscible or immiscible.

The present invention relates to an anaerobic process for biogas upgrading and hydrogen utilization comprising the use of acidic waste as co-substrate. In this process, H.sub.2 and CO.sub.2 will be converted to CH.sub.4, which will result in lower CO.sub.2 content in the biogas. The invention relates to both in situ and ex situ methods of biogas upgrading. The invention further relates to a bioreactor comprising hollow fiber membranes.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a cell culture system, a cell culture environment evaluation device, and a program, capable of performing evaluation of a culture environment without causing an adverse effect on cell culture. An isolator is provided with a culture environment for housing a cell culture vessel having a culture solution containing cells to be cultured placed therein. A sensing unit measures the state of the culture environment and transmits the measurement result of the culture environment to the outside of the isolator. A control device receives the measurement result and performs evaluation in the culture environment based on the measurement result.

A bioreactor includes a culture medium vessel housing culture medium. The culture medium vessel further includes a first side surface including a first transparent optical window; and a second side surface parallel to the first surface and including one or more sensor adapters to fix optical sensors. A cell retention vessel is disposed underneath and connected to the culture medium vessel, the cell retention vessel housing biological cells and having: a top surface that intersects a base of the culture medium vessel, and a second transparent optical window indented into the top surface at a first corner of the top surface. A semipermeable membrane is disposed at a bottom of the cell retention vessel, and a frame comprising a grid is disposed underneath the semipermeable membrane.
