Bioreactor And Bioprocessing Technique

Patent No. EP1309719 (titled "Bioreactor And Bioprocessing Technique") was filed by University OF Maryland AT Baltimore County on Aug 14, 2001. The application was issued on Sep 7, 2022.

Patent Summary

A low volume bioreactor system for measuring bioprocess parameters like pH, dissolved oxygen, and cell density in small volumes. The system uses optical chemical sensing with excitation sources and detectors multiplexed to share electronics. The sensors emit or absorb light that changes based on analyte concentration. This allows on-line measurement and control of multiple process parameters in small volumes without competing for oxygen like larger probes. The small volume bioreactor enables parallel experiments and reduces the number of fermentations needed for optimization compared to larger bioreactors.
