Abstract: Provided herein are, inter alia, methods for preparing a liquid cell culture media that has lesser lot-to-lot analytical variation, increased performance, and has lesser metal ion concentrations compared to a liquid media prepared by traditional methods. Such liquid media may be used for culturing cells, including but not limited to, recombinant cells.

Abstract: The present invention is directed generally to dry cell culture media or feeds in pellet formats which can be reconstituted into liquid media for culturing cells in vitro. Each pellet composition may comprise the same or a different composition; for example, different vitamins, amino acids, buffers, trace salts, pH, iron chelators, etc. The invention also relates to methods of making dry cell culture media by altering ratios of different pellet compositions, or, methods of making modular dry cell culture media, or customizing media formulations for growing a cell type using pellets. The media pellets may be easier to handle either before reconstitution, during shipping and handling; and/or during reconstitution. Media pellets may be used in any container like bags including sterile, single use bags for preparing media formulations. The invention also relates to kits and culture systems using media pellets.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to dry cell culture media or feeds comprising layered particles. The less stable or sensitive components are separated spatially from reactive components in media, feeds, supplements, or concentrates due to layering. The invention relates to processes for preparing such layered compositions and methods of making cell culture compositions that are stable, thermally, photo-chemically and/or to gamma irradiation. The invention also relates to kits and culture systems using media layered particles.

Abstract: A system for magnetic anomaly detection is described. The system may include a nitrogen vacancy (NV) diamond material comprising a plurality of NV centers. A controller modulates a first code packet and controls a first magnetic field generator to apply a first time varying magnetic field at the NV diamond material based on the modulated first code packet. The controller modulates a second code packet and control a second magnetic field generator to apply a second time varying magnetic field at the NV diamond material based on the modulated second code packet, wherein the first code packet and the second code packet are binary sequences which have a low cross correlation with each other. The controller determines a magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at the NV diamond material, and determines a magnetic vector anomaly based on the determined magnitude and direction of the magnetic field.
