A multi-chamber single-use bioreactor for cell culture expansion has bag assembly and a rigid support structure defining a bag receiving space. The bag assembly disposed in the bag receiving space of the rigid support structure and supported by the rigid support structure. The bag assembly has at least a first flexible bag and a second flexible bag. The first bag defines a first reaction chamber, and the second bag defines a second reaction chamber. The first reaction chamber has a first volume, a first inlet, and a first outlet, and the second reaction chamber has a second volume different from the first volume, a second inlet, and a second outlet. The second inlet of the second bag is fluidically connected to the first outlet of the first bag so liquid in first reaction chamber can be transferred to the second reaction chamber.

Provided herein are systems and methods for thermally separating a flask and the base of an automatic flask stirring device. A thermal separator apparatus may be provided with a stand and a plurality of first standoffs. The stand may have a top surface configured to support a flask containing a substance to be stirred by a flask stirrer. The first standoffs may be located between the stand and a flask stirrer base, thereby creating a first air gap between the stand and the flask stirrer base. In some embodiments, the first air gap allows air to flow straight through the first air gap in a first direction.

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.

A culture apparatus includes an inner box for housing a culture, an outer box surrounding the inner box, and a first vibration prevention mechanism that is disposed between the inner box and the outer box, and is configured to prevent the inner box from vibrating due to the vibration of the outer box.

A probe holder (1), for positioning at least one probe (50) such that the probe (50) at least partially engages in a system (100) for biotechnological uses, comprises a holder base (10) for positioning the probe holder (1) on the system (100) for biotechnological uses and at least one probe positioning means (20), which is designed to position the at least one probe (50) such that the probe (50) extends in a probe extension direction (S; S1, S2, S3, S4). The probe positioning means (20) is positioned on the holder base (10) such that the position of the probe (50) is variably adjustable in a probe extension direction (S; S1, S2, S3, S4).

The reactor is for manufacturing biogas from organic raw material using anaerobic digestion. The reactor includes a tubular reaction chamber with a substantially rectangular cross-section composed of a bottom, walls and a ceiling for processing raw material into end products. Agitation and transfer equipment are arranged in the reaction chamber and an external support frame structure is arranged on the outer surface included in the reaction chamber for stiffening and supporting the reaction chamber externally against forces generated by the raw material.

A device for receiving, stacking, and removing microplates is presented and described. The device comprises a tower for stacking the microplates, wherein a microplate comprises a container and, optionally, a lid. There is a retaining device at the lower end of the tower, which has a first retaining tool and a second retaining tool, and preferably partially encompasses a microplate. The first retaining tool is designed to hold a microplate in a form-fitting manner. The second retaining tool is designed to fix a container in the microplate in place in a frictional manner. The first retaining tool is above the second retaining tool in the stacking direction. A system that comprises the device described above, a dispenser device, and a transport device, is also disclosed. The dispenser device is used to fill microplates, and the transport device is used to add and remove microplates to and from the device.

The present invention relates to a bioreactor assembly comprising a plurality of trays (30) for holding a cell culture bag, a holder (2) on which the trays are mounted side by side to form a first series of trays rocking mechanism (4) for rocking the trays, the rocking mechanism (4) being operatively connected to each of the trays (30). The invention also relates to a bioreactor system (100) comprising at least one bioreactor assembly.

A multi-sensor component for the installation of at least two sensors at an individual port of a container for culturing biological material is provided. The multi-sensor component has a housing that can be introduced by a front housing segment into an uptake opening extending through the port of the container so that the front housing segment is facing the inside of the container. The multi-sensor component has a first sensor unit or a mount for a first sensor unit arranged on the front housing segment and has a second sensor unit or a mount for a second sensor unit arranged on the front housing segment.

An aspect of the present invention makes it possible to easily observe both surfaces of a cell sheet in a condition in which the cell sheet is at a stable position in a culture medium. A cell sheet production device (100) includes: a container (20); and a support unit (10) removably held in the container (20), the support unit (10) including a mesh sheet (2) and a base (3) which holds the mesh sheet (2) such that the mesh sheet (2) floats from a bottom surface of the container (20), the support unit (10) being held in the container (20) such that the support unit is at a fixed position in vertical and horizontal directions in a culture medium.
