Non invasive, online real-time monitoring system for biomass in shake flasks

The CGQ system produced by Aquila Biolabs is an online real-time monitoring device for biomass in shake flasks. During measurement, there is no need to remove the shake flask from the shaker or stop the shaker operation.

The CGQ system automatically and non invasively measures biomass concentration through optical measurement technology. Therefore, high-precision microbial growth kinetics curves can be obtained through measurement results.

The four major components of CGQ system

1. The sensor board is installed under the shaking bottle for non-invasive measurement of biomass. There are 5 sizes to match different specifications of shaking bottles for selection;
2. Each shaking bottle is covered with a light shield to ensure measurement accuracy and sensitivity;
3. The signal collector base can be connected to 8 or 16 shaking bottles to send data to the cgQuant software;
4. The cgQuant software analyzes and visualizes the data from monitoring shaking bottles;

application
CGQ system can be used for various scientific applications
>Protein expression guided by growth curve
>Development/optimization of culture medium
>Strain screening/comparison
>Monitoring limiting factors and bacterial contamination
>Analyze the growth kinetics curve
>Optimize cultivation conditions
>Online monitoring of thermophilic microorganisms
