There is described a fermentation tank for the multiplication of microorganisms, particularly a vertical fermentation tank comprising aeration and agitation elements with low cost and high efficiency. Particularly, a fermentation tank for the multiplication of microorganisms (100) comprising an external structure (10) of longitudinal axis (L) and an inner container (20) which receives a mixture to be fermented, the fermentation tank (100) comprising an aeration and agitation element (30) arranged in the inner container (20) collinear with the longitudinal axis (L), the aeration and agitation element (30) comprising internally a plurality of sets of fins (40), each set of fins (40) being arranged axially parallel to each other along the longitudinal axis (L) to provide aeration and agitation of the mixture to be fermented.

The present invention relates to cell free protein manufacturing, and more particularly, for integrating machine learning into a portable cell-free bioprocessing system for producing proteins with increased and consistent purity, potency and quality wherein such proteins are prepared on-demand and for point-of-care delivery.

A tempering device for tempering of biomass contained in a container, including at least one tempering mechanism, and at least one conveying device for conveying a mass flow of biomass in a main flow direction. The at least one conveying device includes at least one agitator, and wherein the at least one tempering mechanism is arranged in the main flow direction generated by the at least one conveying device. The at least one tempering mechanism is tubular with an inner tube and with an outer tube arranged coaxially to the inner tube. The inner tube and the outer tube form an intermediate space through which a tempering medium may flow. The tempering mechanism is oriented relative to the conveying device such that, in operation of the heating device, at least 40% of the delivery volume of the mass flow generated by the conveying device flows through the inner tube.

Cell culture devices are described herein that have notched lids, notched lids with corresponding gripping pads included on their bases, or gripping tabs included on their bases to minimize or eliminate the need for a user to contact a lid when attempting to lift or move a lidded cell culture device. In addition, methods for using the cell culture devices are also described herein.

A collection system including a storage tray and a swab positioned in the storage tray, wherein the swab is configured to collect a sample comprising one or more microorganisms. The system further includes a generally elongate storage device positioned in the tray. The storage device is configured to contain a culture medium therein and configured to receive therein at least part of the one or more microorganisms collected by the swab. The storage tray includes a first recess configured to receive the storage device in a longitudinal configuration, and a second recess configured to receive the storage device in an axial configuration oriented generally perpendicular to the longitudinal configuration.

Provided is a medical container from which an accommodated object is easily extracted without being contaminated. A medical container 1 formed by joining together rims of a set of sheet-shaped members 50 and 50 disposed facing each other is provided with: an accommodation part 10 that is disposed at a central part in a width direction WD; and a pair of extending parts 20 that is disposed on one end side in a height direction HD of the accommodation part 10 and extends outward in the width direction from the accommodation part 10. The medical container 1 is preferably provided with partition joining parts 30 that extend from the other end side to the one end side in the height direction HD and partition the accommodation part 10 and the extending parts 20 at boundary portions between the accommodation part 10 and a pair of the extending parts 20.

A biological component treatment system includes a biological component kit, and a biological component treatment device in which the biological component kit is set. The biological component kit includes tubes and a biological component cassette. The biological component cassette includes a cassette main body having flow paths in the interior of the cassette main body, and the cassette main body includes flow path opening/closing units which are capable of switching between opening and closing of the flow paths. The flow path opening/closing units include cutouts provided at positions adjacent to the flow paths.

A resealable microbial culture and observation device provides a growth platform for the growth, transportation, and inspection of a biologic organism. The device provides a tray having at least one growth medium depression for containing a growth medium and a biologic, at least one anerobic member depression for containing an anerobic member that creates an anerobic environment for the biologic, and a vent to enable filtered gas exchange with the ambient environment, so as to supplement the microbial growth conditions in the growth medium depression during single use or in stacked position of multiple devices; and further having a resealable label with a nontransparent portion for labeling, and a transparent portion for viewing the biologic.
