Abstract
The present invention relates to a system comprising a mixing device for mixing the content of a bioreactor. The system is comprising at least one movement device for initiating a mixing movement in the bioreactor or in a holder for receiving a bioreactor and at least one sensor that can be arranged in or on the bioreactor for receiving at least one physiological or physical measurement variable. The mixing device or the bioreactor further comprises a sensor or transmitter for generating a synchronization measurement variable.
Claims12
A system comprising a mixing device for mixing of a bioreactor and a synchronization device,
- the mixing device comprising:
- at least one movement device for inducing a mixing motion to the bioreactor or to a holder of the bioreactor,
- at least one sensor attached to or in the bioreactor for recording at least one physiological or physical parameter,
- wherein the mixing device or the bioreactor further comprises a sensor for generating a synchronization readout, namely a trigger signal or a digital signal (on/off or high/low),
- wherein the synchronization readout is synchronized or synchronizable with the mixing motion induced to the bioreactor or to the holder thereof,
- wherein the synchronization device:
- a) triggers the measurement of at least one physiological or physical parameter on the basis of the synchronization readout or
- b) selects at least one recorded value of at least one physiological or physical parameter on the basis of the synchronization readout;
- and
- wherein the system uses a frequency spectrum for calculating and/or recording the physiological or physical parameter and/or physiological or physical parameter consists of a frequency spectrum, wherein the frequency spectrum is discretely and discontinuously recorded in dependency of the synchronization readout.
