The present application relates to biotechnological fluid treating, such as biopharmaceutical liquids in order to obtain products such as monoclonal antibodies, vaccines or recombinant proteins, and particularly to a system for treating a biotechnical fluid, having a bioprocess machine and at least one bioprocess machine helper, configured to connect to each other and each comprising a controller, in turn comprising a machine-to-machine communication tool configured for connecting to a network
CELL CULTURE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING CELL GROUPS
Provided are a cell culture apparatus capable of culturing cells with a high yield and time efficiency by efficiently advancing bead to bead transfer of the cells in a case where culture carriers are introduced into a suspension and cells are cultured on the culture carriers, and a method for manufacturing a cell group. A cell culture apparatus includes a culture container that accommodates a suspension containing at least cell complexes that are complexes of cells and culture carriers; a drive device that agitates the suspension; a measurement device that measures at least one of a cell distribution information value related to the cells and a carrier distribution information value related to the culture carriers in at least one partial region in the suspension; and a control device that controls driving of the drive device on the basis of at least one of the cell distribution information value and the carrier distribution information value measured by the measurement device.
Device for producing metabolites
A bioreactor for producing hydrogen gas and other metabolites. The bioreactor utilizes light, fermentation, and other metabolic processes for the production of metabolites, derived from various microorganisms contained within the bioreactor through respective metabolic pathways. The bioreactor comprises a main reactor chamber, a semipermeable membrane, a sleeve, a power supply, a substrate medium, a heating member, a plurality of tubing members, a collection reservoir, a pressure-sealed connecter member, and an agitator.
CLOSED CELL CULTURING AND HARVESTING SYSTEM
A bioreactor includes a base and a lid. The base includes two opposing curved or convoluted surfaces, two opposing flat surfaces, a window disposed on one of the flat surfaces, the window having a higher degree of transparency compared to other portions of the base, wherein images or videos of cells are captured through the window by non-invasive ISM device, and a rounded bottom. The lid is attachable to the base. The lid includes a shaft and a semipermeable membrane attached to the shaft, the semipermeable membrane being permeable to oxygen but impermeable to viruses and bacteria. The PAT-based online analysis directs the adaptive manipulations of bioreactor towards efficient, automated, and GMP-compliant clinical protocols of cell culture.
PHOTOBIOREACTOR SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A bioreactor including a containment structure containing a liquid culture medium for cultivating seaweed. The containment structure includes a sidewall extending vertically between a top and bottom section where the bottom section has an effluent arranged to allow extraction of cultivated seaweed. A spiral liner is positioned adjacent to an inside surface of the sidewall. The recirculator includes a pump arranged to continuously receive a portion of the liquid culture medium via an inlet from the bottom section and output the liquid culture medium via the outlet at the top section. Sensors monitor environmental conditions within the bioreactor. Light emitters are arranged along a surface of the spiral liner. Flow generators, positioned within the containment structure in a spiral configuration between the top section and bottom section, are configured to direct a flow of the liquid culture medium from the top section toward the bottom section of the containment structure.
