Beckman Coulter Life Sciences launches trade’s first microbioreactor gentle array module to allow the cultivation of photosynthetically lively microalgae and microorganisms

Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, a worldwide chief in laboratory automation and innovation, is lighting up microbioreactor analysis with its highly effective new Gentle Array Module (LAM) for the favored BioLector XT Microbioreactor. For the primary time, this new development permits work with light-dependent organisms that have to carry out photosynthesis to develop.

The Gentle Array Module supplies customizable gentle settings of 400-700 nm (nanometer) throughout the photosynthetic spectrum, together with day and nighttime lighting. The spectral flexibility is achieved by 16 totally different LED-types, which might every be managed individually to ship most irradiances and photon flux densities of as much as 3500 µmol/m²/s (micromoles reaching one sq. meter per second).

This highly effective new function uniquely empowers prospects with cutting-edge expertise to speed up solutions towards their subsequent large breakthrough second. Our Gentle Array Module supplies researchers with customizable illumination for organisms rising contained in the microbioreactor, for the primary time enabling photosynthesis, which might present deeper evaluation and richer reporting with out interruption.”

This development permits high-throughput screening and course of optimization for a variety of phototrophic organisms, together with microalgae and cyanobacteria. Using real-time biomass, chlorophyll focus, and fluorescence measurements, the BioLector XT Microbioreactor with LAM provides customers real-time information with out the necessity for pipetting samples for evaluation.

Following its launch in Might of 2021, the BioLector XT Microbioreactor has earned a loyal following. Geared up with patented FlowerPlate microtiter plate expertise, it permits high-throughput pressure screening, cultivation parameter monitoring, and feeding technique optimization. The BioLector XT Microbioreactor is ideally suited to microbial, fungal, and algal cultivations with real-time evaluations of biomass, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and fluorescence for aerobes and anaerobes.
