  • Bioreactor including probe for electrical or electromagnetic measurements
    Patent number: 12624331
    Abstract: A bioreactor includes a rigid-walled vessel for containing a biological medium, the vessel having a lid. The bioreactor further includes a probe passing through an aperture in the lid and having a sensing end inside the vessel and a remote end outside the vessel. The sensing end has plural electrodes for immersion in the biological medium, and the remote end is configured for coupling to external devices and transmission thereto of electrical or electromagnetic measurements made by the electrodes. One of the lid and the probe has one or more resiliently deformable mechanisms and the other of the lid and the probe has one or more respective complementary surfaces.
    Type: Grant
