DASGIP Parallel PhotoBioreactor Systems for applications in phototrophic cell research and development allow for advanced screening and growth optimization using automated illumination profiles.
Each PhotoBioreactor is equipped with up to four illumination sticks for light emission inside the bioreactor. The use of LEDs with three different wavelengths and adjustable intensity provide online changeable emission spectra as well as intensity profiles.
High precision monitoring and control units designed for small working volumes combined with a truly parallel hardware and software design result in high information output and easy comparative analysis:

• Parallel operation of four, eight or sixteen bioreactors
• Different wavelengths to meet spectra of various strains (e.g. cyanobacteria, different algae)
• Software-adjustable photon flow for each wavelength range
• Extremely small footprint achieved through the compact Bioblock
• Predefined recipes for standard applications
• Full controller scripting for easy scale-up and scale-down
• Variable speed pump drives
• Overhead drives
• Individual temperature control via Bioblock
• pH control using CO2 and other strategies
• Individual gas mixture from Air, O2, CO2 and N2
• Thermal Mass Flow controlled gassing
• Gassing to headspace, sparger and/or overlay
• Level control and/or anti foam sensor
• Optional integration of off-gas analyzer
