Microalgae culture using the DASGIP PBR4 Module for Illumination with an Eppendorf bench-Scale stirred-tank bioreactor
27 May 2021The number of bioprocess applications for microalgae has increased in recent years, particularly in the field of biofuel production.
In this application note, Eppendorf demonstrates that pairing a stirred-tank bioreactor with the DASGIP® PBR4 LED Illumination Module can be used to successfully grow high density microalgal cultures.

Bioprocessing / FermentationBioprocessing is the use of biological materials to perform commercial, scientific or medical research processes. Biological materials used include cells, enzymes and organisms. Usually bioprocessing requires a batch or continuous bioreactor such as a fermentor or cell culture system. The advantages of using a reactor include high productivity, easy configuration, adjustable values and automation.Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

This includes the research, development and manufacturing stages of production and can refer to food processing, small-molecule pharmaceutical manufacture, production of recombinant protein therapeutics, or the generation of renewable energy.Biofuel
