Lis1, Konstantin Schneider1,2, Jost Weber1,3, Jay D. Keasling1,4,5,6,7, Michael Krogh Jensen1 and Tobias Klein1,2* Abstract Background: The physiological characterization of microorganisms provides valuable information for bioprocess development. Chemostat cultivations are a powerful tool for this purpose, as they allow defned changes to one single parameter at a time, which is most commonly the growth rate. The subsequent establishment of a steady state then permits constant variables enabling the acquisition of reproducible data sets for comparing microbial perfor- mance under diferent conditions. We performed physiological characterizations of a 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) producing Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain in a miniaturized and parallelized chemostat cultivation system. The physi- ological conditions under investigation were various growth rates controlled by diferent nutrient limitations (C, N, P). Based on the cultivation parameters obtained subsequent fed-batch cultivations were designed. Results: We report technical advancements of a small-scale chemostat cultivation system and its applicability for reliable strain screening under diferent physiological conditions, i.e.

Microscope Compatible Cell-Culture Incubator
Microscope Compatible Cell-Culture Incubator BME 400 December 14th, 2016 Client: Dr. John Puccinelli, UW-Madison Dept. of Biomedical Engineering Advisor: Dr. Mitchell Tyler, UW-Madison Dept. of Biomedical Engineering Team Members: Trevor Zarecki - Team Leader Jenny Westlund - Communicator Peter Hartig - BPAG Jack McGinnity - BWIG Steve Gock - BSAC Abstract Live cell imaging experiments are difficult to perform over long periods of time on normal lab microscopes without incubation capabilities. Current commercial microscope-stage incubators are expensive, not compatible with multiple microscopes and ineffective at evenly controlling the environment. The client desires an inexpensive incubation chamber compatible with cell microscopy that is capable of maintaining desired temperature, CO2, and humidity evenly throughout the chamber. The device should not alter image quality, and should be accessible for changing media or cell culture dishes. An initial prototype has been developed that involves a small, cohesive system to regulate temperature, CO2, and humidity. Testing of the current prototype has demonstrated regulation of these three systems, through an automated feedback system capable of maintaining the system near a physiological set point. Further development of the design will ensure that it performs efficiently according to all specifications, and ultimately help bridge the gap in the market between high-cost, functional incubation systems and cheaper, less effective designs. 1 Table of Contents Introduction 3 Motivation 3 Existing

Effective Contamination Control with CO2 Incubators
WHITE PAPER No. 30 Effective Contamination Control with CO2 Incubators Ines Kristina Hartmann¹, James Jarvis² ¹Eppendorf AG, ²Eppendorf, Inc. Executive Summary CO2 incubators provide an optimal cell growth environ- ment by maintaining a humidified atmosphere with temperature and carbon dioxide control. These conditions not only promote cell growth, but also the growth of contaminants, like bacteria, yeast, molds and other fungi. The contamination-reducing features of an incubator’s functional design and the effectiveness of its self-decon- tamination system must be considered in choosing an instrument. In this paper, we compare various strategies for preventing contamination in CO2 incubators, from the functional design of the device to self-disinfection programs. We also give some useful tips to prevent contamination when using CO2 incubators. Introduction Sources of contamination How do contaminants get into a CO2 incubator? Contamination is a major cause of frustration when culturing The CO2 incubator may become an indirect source of con- cells. There are many sources of contamination, either direct tamination. Unlike a biological safety cabinet, an incubator or indirect. Direct sources are contaminated reagents, media cannot prevent the influx of airborne contaminants, as the or seed culture. Media and reagents from reputable suppliers door must be opened during routine use. The incubator are rarely delivered contaminated nowadays. New cell lines chamber can also be contaminated by carelessness in aseptic can introduce contaminants into the lab, especially when techniques, and unnoticed splashes from cell culture vessels. they are given from lab to lab. They should be quarantined Some CO2 incubators use a HEPA filter to remove microor- before culturing with the rest of the cells.

Building and Validating a Rotational Viscometer Brian Cherrington & Jack Rothstein Mechanical Engineering Faculty Mentors: Dr
Building and Validating a Rotational Viscometer Brian Cherrington & Jack Rothstein Mechanical Engineering Faculty Mentors: Dr. Maria-Isabel Carnasciali, Dr. Samuel Daniels Abstract This project was an effort to redesign an initial prototype rotational viscometer to experimentally test whether or not viscosity values vary significantly when the geometry of the viscometer is changed. The scope of the project involved designing and building a viscometer that could vary the gap between the inner and outer cylinders, variation of the testing fluid’s temperature, and control of the device’s RPM. After weeks of planning, designing, and fabrication the new viscometer was complete. In order to control the device, monitor the sensor readings, and calculate the testing fluid’s viscosity a LabVIEW program was created. Testing on medium to high viscous fluids was completed to determine if the viscosity values and the geometry of the viscometer are dependent or independent of each other. The results did show a correlation between measured viscosity and variations in the geometry of the viscometer. More testing is required to further verify the results and properly calibrate the device. Introduction For this project a new design was conceptualized, fabricated, and tested. This new design met several criteria including, Viscosity is often referred to as a fluid’s thickness or how much it resists deformation due to an applied force. Designed for future use in ME labs; Rotational viscometers measure the amount of torque needed Designed to be durable, sustainable, and easy to to rotate an object moving through fluid at a known RPM. dissemble and clean; Using the measured torque, RPM, and dimensions of the Multiple inner cylinders for varying gap sizes; device, the viscosity can be calculated using equation 1.
