An open microbial bioreactor for growing cultures of about 1L:

Nice stuff! Really neat design.

Aren't you afraid though that the spectrometer will get clogged eventually if it keeps sampling automatically?

We are developing a bioreactor too, although smaller than your design and for a different purpose. I'll post some info on it when its ready if interested.

Hi Ravasz,

I'm not the author of this project.

I just shared the info, but I agree with you.

Every system where a surface of a instrument is exposed "constantly" to a solution containing microorganisms and nutrients there is a high probability of forming biofilms.

And probably the biofilm will interfere with the measurement (optical o electrochemical).

In some cases may be necessary to implement, somehow, a procedure to replace the solution for any other solution (oxidant, surfactant) to remove the biofilm over the surface.

Best Regards,

Markos
