Substrate continuous dosing device for programming control of bioprocesses

   

Project no.: 01.2.2-MITA-K-702-09-0012

Project description:

The aim of this project is to prepare for commercialization a CONTINUOUS DOSING DEVICE FOR SUBSTRATES FOR PROGRAMMING MANAGEMENT OF BIOPROCESSES.
This device is designed to accurately and continuously supply the feed solution to the bioreactor by cultivating a culture of recombinant proteins. The device consists of four main components: a pump, a balance, a gas mixture analyzer and a control program. The plant meets an essential need: to achieve quality biomass cultivation by assessing both the quality and rate of the biomass growth.

Project funding:

This research project is funded by the European Regional Development Fund according to the 2014–2020 Operational Programme for the European Union Funds’ Investments under measure No. 01.2.2-MITA-K-702 “Promoting the Commercialisation and Internationalisation of R&D”.


Project results:

A pilot batch of the device for the market has been fully developed and tested by potential users. An evaluation of the newly created product has been performed.
