    摘要: A device for monitoring a bioreactor is configured for in-situ analysis, e.g., by NIR, without the need for withdrawing a sample into a sample cell or into an ex-situ arrangement. The device can be inserted into a port of the bioreactor and provides a sample detection region defined by an optical element such as a lens and a photodetector. The electrical signal obtained from a photodetector that is part of the device can be directed to an analyzer via a detachable electrical connection.

    摘要: A process conducted in a rocking bioreactor is monitored using a flexible bag fitted with an in-situ probe. The probe includes a disposable bag insert or patch and a reusable probe module. The patch is secured to a wall of the bag, and the probe module is a detachable part that can be mated to the bag patch, then disassembled for future use, for example. The patch is secured to the bag, defining a sample gap, and the probe module is inserted or mated with the patch. The probe module includes one or more source elements and one or more detector element. Light is transmitted from the source elements, through the sample gap, to the detector element(s), which detect the light after interaction with contents of the bag.

    摘要: A device for monitoring a bioreactor is designed for in-situ analysis, e.g., by NIR. The device is configured for maintaining a sample detection region in the reactor medium and can include two or more components, at least one of which is fabricated additively. In an example, a light beam propagates along a free space optical path, passes through a thin 3D printed layer and traverses the sample detection region, where it becomes modulated or modified by interactions with analytes present in the bioreactor. The transmitted light reaches and passes through another thin 3D printed layer and is detected by a photodetector, internal to the device. The electrical signal from the photodetector can be directed to an analyzer via electrical connections. The device or a component thereof can be designed for single use applications.
