PSI Photobioreactors are
used for precise phototrophic cultivation of algae and cyanobacteria.
They feature a unique combination of the cultivator and monitoring
device. Light power and spectral composition as well as the temperature
and aeration gas composition can be set with a high accuracy. In
addition, cultivation conditions can be dynamically varied according to a
user defined protocol. Light, temperature, and gas composition can
oscillate with various amplitudes and frequencies. The growth of the
cultures is monitored by the integrated densitometer (OD 720) that
measures light scattering at 720 nm. Chlorophyll content of the culture
can also be monitored continuously by the differences of optical
densities at 680 and 720 nm (NDVI). The instantaneous physiological
state of the culture is measured by the Photosystem II quantum yield
(Fm’-Fs)/Fm’.
All
PSI Photobioreactors have a flat-vessel design that enables bringing
uniform illumination over the whole volume of cultivated culture. The
Photobioreactors are currently manufactured in five standard versions
differing in the volume of their cultivation vessels: 400 ml, 1000 ml,
3000 ml, 25 L, and 120 L. (Excerpt from Photon Systems Instruments)
The FMT 150 photobioreactor (version 150.2) and
power supply are in good cosmetic condition. There are spots on the
body of the bioreactor where rust has formed, but it does not hinder the
mechanical integrity of the instrument. The functionality of the FMT
150 was tested by New Life Scientific technicians; the white LEDs were
powered on and the temperature/pH cable was used. NLS used a non-sterile
pH probe to test the bioreactor chamber with software; they have
confirmed that the results were inconsistent and unlike the other tested FMT 150 systems that were working. Unfortunately, there is no
software included in this listing but the customer can contact Photon
Systems Instruments for the netbook and software, or additional
licenses. The technicians received a software quote which is available
below, along with a link to the digital manual for supplemental reading.
There are additional parts available from New Life Scientific in
separate listings including: 400 mL cultivation vessels, white LED light
panels & power supplies, and cables. Please
note that the 'error 6' (displayed) indicates the instrument is not
connected to a probe during photography. The instrument photographed may
not be the exact one received; however, this FMT 150 is a
representation of the condition and functionality for the quantity
available in this listing. For more information, please contact New Life
Scientific or see the embedded links.
