Abstract: The invention relates to a harvesting device (100, 100a, 100b, 100c, 100d) for harvesting a content of a bioreactor bag (102) and to a method for harvesting a content of a bioreactor bag (102). The harvesting device (100, 100a, 100b, 100c, 100d) comprises: a first fixing device (104) for fixing one of the fixing portions (112, 114) to the harvesting device (100, 100a, 100b, 100c, 100d), a second fixing device (106) for fixing the other of the fixing portions (112, 114) to the harvesting device (100, 100a, 100b, 100c, 100d), a base (108), and an adjusting device (110) coupling the first fixing device (104) and/or the second fixing device (106) to the base (108). The adjusting device (110) is configured to selectively allow changing an arrangement of the first fixing portion (112) and/or the second fixing portion (114) relative to the base (108) or fixing the arrangement of the first fixing portion (112) and/or the second fixing portion (114) relative to the base (108).

Abstract: The invention relates to a bioreactor, comprising a reactor vessel (2) with a housing support (20,20a), extending into the vessel interior (14), with a medium seal against the vessel interior (14) with a transparent sensor piece (34,34a) and an indicator tile (38,38a), arranged in the vessel interior (14), in contact with the vessel contents, which may be scanned by a fiber optic which may itself be introduced into the housing support (20,20a) and connected to a display device (24). In order that the reactor may be embodied as a bag, the housing support (20,20a) is arranged on the upper side of the reactor bag and provided with a flange piece (26) tightly sealed to the vessel wall (28). The flange piece is connected to the sensor piece (34,34a) by means of a preferably tubular connector piece (32,23a), whereby the length of the connector piece is such that the sensor piece (34,34a) permanently reaches into the reactant.
