The invention bioprocessing system and technique relies on non-invasive optical chemical sensing technology wherein an optical excitation source excites an optical chemical sensor. The optical chemical sensor then emits luminescence or absorbs light which is measured by a detector. The luminescence emitted from the chemical sensor or the amount of light absorbed by the chemical sensor is related to the concentration of an analyte, such as oxygen. If the luminescence emitted changes, or if the amount of light absorbed changes, then the concentration of the analyte has changed. Using such a system to measure and adjust multiple parameters at one time allows one to efficiently and cost-effectively determine optimal conditions for a given cell type and/or cell environment. By combining cell cultivation with optical chemical sensing technology, cultivation can be successfully and rapidly performed, controlled and monitored in small volumes in an automated, parallel fashion at less expense than current bioprocess techniques. Figure (1) is a schematic diagram of a high throughput microbioprocessing system in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
本发明的生物处理系统和技术依赖于非侵入式光学化学传感技术,其中光学激发源激发光学化学传感器。然后,光学化学传感器发出荧光或吸收光,并由检测器进行测量。化学传感器发出的荧光或吸收的光量与氧气等分析物的浓度有关。如果发出的荧光或吸收的光量发生变化,则说明分析物的浓度发生了变化。使用这种系统一次性测量和调整多个参数,可以高效、经济地确定特定细胞类型和/或细胞环境的最佳条件。通过将细胞培养与光学化学传感技术相结合,可以成功、快速地以自动化、并行的方式对小容量细胞进行培养、控制和监测,而且成本低于当前的生物工艺技术。图(1)是根据本发明一个实施例的高通量微生物处理系统示意图。
