2.2.3. Agitator Magnetic coupled stirrers are clearly superior to direct drive agitators concerning sterile design. Therefore zeta offers the top-mounted AMR magnetic type agitators for bench top bioreactors. Nearly every mixer element can be used in conjunction with the agitator and these elements are adjustable in height on the agitator shaft. Apart from magnetic-coupled agitators, zeta also supplies conventionally direct drive agitators with a single or double mechanical seal. These are used mainly where the risk of contamination is more of a secondary consideration. In both cases the motor is fastened directly on the head plate and can be removed for autoclaving. Different agitation speeds configurations can be chosen according to the need of the cultivation process. For microbial cultures we recommend a configuration where the speed can be controlled in the range of 100-1000 rpm (±1%) to allow a maximal gas input into the cultivation media. Using cell culture the configuration of 50-450 rpm is recommended. A baffle cage to generate a turbulent environment within the bioreactor is integrated in the “Bacteria” version.

Beside the set points and dead zones, different ramps can be preconfigured. As an example a process can run at an early stage at low temperature and after the preset time has elapsed the temperature decreases or increases to a second preset temperature level. These so-called „ramp “functions can be preset for the parameters temperature, oxygen, agitator speed, medium addition, level and weight.

A correct password has to be entered as a prerequisite to adjust parameters:

The following three access levels arise when entering the menu “ACCESS CONTROL”:

1st level: general rights (the password can be changed) 2nd level: administrator rights (the password can be changed) and you have more

access rights, e.g. to change PID parameters 3rd level service level (this password cannot be changed) the service engineer has

to become access even when the password went loss.

2.3.5.2. pH measuring and control The pH of the culture media is measured with a Mettler Toledo pH electrode. The software allows a temperature compensated 2 point calibration before autoclaving. The set point of the pH and the corresponding range can be preset. The culture media’s pH is controlled by either the addition of acid or base or CO2 and base. If the measured pH value is lower or higher than the set point, the controller activates the peristaltic pump to either add acid or base into the bioreactor to adjust pH. Type of sensor: pH electrode, Mettler Toledo Calibration: Via software Control range: 2-12 pH Units Control accuracy: ± 0.1 pH Units Control mode: PI regulator with puls modulated outputs Control characteristics: logarithmic with dead band Temperature compensation: Via software

2.3.5.3. Temperature measuring and control Temperature within the culture media is measured by a temperature probe installed in the bioreactor. The software allows you to configure the set point of the temperature as well as the minimum and maximum temperature. The culture media’s temperature is controlled by circulating thermostatic water through the vessel jacket. If the culture media temperature is lower than the desired set point, the thermostatic water is heated by the electric water heater within the loop. An open loop with the heater off and cooling water entering is employed for cooling the vessel jacket. Type of sensor: PT 100 Ohm RTD, vessel Control range: 20-80°C, depending on supply water temperature Control mode: PID Control accuracy: ± 0.1°C

2.3.5.4. Agitator speed measuring and control Agitator speed is measured with a Hall sensor near the motor. The software allows you to configure the set point of the agitator speed. The speed can be configured as explained in chapter 2.2.3.

2.3.5.5. Dissolved oxygen measuring and control The aeration system provides the necessary gas for your organism to grow. The inlet of the external gas supply (regular air, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide) is located on the rear of the control system. Within the control system the gas blending unit with the flow meter is providing the gas concentration and mass flow according to the set point. The gas is then transported from the control system to the bioreactor were a sparger disperse the gas into the culture medium. In addition the agitator in the bioreactor is dispersing the gas bubbles within the culture medium. The gas dissolve and can be taken up by the organism of interest. The bioreactor can either be operated by head space aeration or submerse.

2.3.5.5.1. Dissolved oxygen measurement (DO) Dissolved oxygen measurement within the culture media is performed by a Mettler Toledo Oxygen electrode. The software allows a 2 point calibration (0% and 100%). The set point of the dissolved oxygen concentration can be preset. Type of sensor: Mettler Toledo Dissolved Oxygen electrode Calibration: via Software Control range: 0 – 100% dissolved Oxygen Control mode: PID Control characteristics: Temperature compensation: yes The culture media’s dissolved oxygen can be controlled by the strategies given in the following text.

2.3.5.5.2. Dissolved oxygen control strategies Agitator speed: By increasing the agitator speed the exposure time of the gas within the surrounding medium is enhanced. Therefore more gas can be dissolved in the medium. The agitator speed can be preconfigured with a minimum and a maximum value. If the measured dissolved oxygen concentration falls below the set point, the agitator speed gradually increases so that more gas can dissolve in the culture medium. The agitator speed is decreased if the value is higher than the set point. Gas mass flow: By increasing the gas mass flow into the bioreactor more gas can dissolve in the culture medium. The gas flow can be preconfigured with a minimum and a maximum value. If the measured dissolved oxygen value falls below the set point, the gas flow gradually increases so that more gas is delivered to the culture medium. The gas flow is decrease if the value is higher than the set point. For this option a mass flow controller can be installed in the biot-t® mini control system. Gas blending: Alternatively the gas concentration within the bioreactor can be enhanced by the use of concentrated oxygen or nitrogen. The integrated gas blending station is mixing the desired concentration with the feedback information (DO) form the bioreactor. A constant gas flow rate is manually set with a rotameter. The oxygen concentration of the incoming gas is limited between preset limit. If aeration with regular air is not sufficient to reach the lower set point, pure oxygen gas will be added to the air stream. Substrate Addition: The bio-t® mini control system can be configured to enhance the gas concentration within the bioreactor by adding gas enriched culture media by using the substrate pump. Is the gas concentration within the culture media decreasing the controller activates the substrate pump to add gas enriched substrate.

Combined control strategies: Any of the before mentioned control strategies can be combined. Moreover the bio-t® mini control system can be configured to run different oxygen concentration over time.

2.3.5.6. Foam detection and control A conductivity probe placed in the head space of the bioreactor is detecting foam. Foam is controlled by dosing antifoam agent into the bioreactor with a peristaltic pump. The quantity of the antifoam dose, delay between doses and the detection sensitivity of the probe can be set so that minimal quantities of antifoam are added. Type of sensor: Conductivity probe, PTFE coated Control range: 50 -1000 kOhm Type of controller: Impulse pause algorithm

2.3.5.7. External signals measurement and control An upgrade board is installed in the biot-t mini control system which allows up to two 4-20 mA galvanically isolate input signals from external devices (i.e. optical density meter, glucose analyzer, pumps, etc.) to be measure and controlled. The inputs signals are calibrated using the software and expressed as percentage (i.e. 0 – 100 %). Input signal from sensor: 4 – 20 mA, galvanically isolated Control range: 0 – 100%, full scale Type of controller: proportional regulator with dead band

2.3.5.8. Alarm handling Limits can be configured for each cultivation parameter that is measured and controlled. Deviations to the set limits are activating an alarm. Alarms are then recorded and displayed on the touch screen. In case of a sensor failure, an additional Fail Low/High function ensures that the particular control function is switched off.
