Optimization of the angle for scattered light measurements in 3D-printed cultivation vessels.

ABSTRACT: Monitoring key parameters during the cultivation of microorganisms-including biomass concentration-is often a crucial prerequisite for attaining reproducible results in the field of biotechnology. In order to overcome the drawbacks associated with conventional methods for assessing biomass concentration (such as cell dry weight or optical density measurements), several devices to facilitate continuous online monitoring have been developed. Yet despite the success of innovative solutions (such as acceleration sensors) in addressing the challenging dynamical behavior of liquids within shaken systems, the performance of these sensors can still be affected by reflections at the liquid-air interface or at the top of the cultivation vessels. In our previous work, a 3D-printed cultivation vessel
