CultureLED: A 3D printer-based LED illumination cultivation system for multi-well culture plates.

ABSTRACT: Microalgae are a source of high value products such as pigments, lipids and carbohydrates. Microalgae cultivation techniques have evolved and improved, but a vast amount of research is still needed to achieve a better understanding of these microorganisms. Due to this, there is a growing need for affordable, flexible, and easy to control research systems and protocols. 3D printing revolutionized design and manufacturing as it became widely available to the mass market, allowing the creation of novel forms, enabling mass customization, and supporting low-volume, distributed production. The emergence of open-source designs combined with 3D printing applications have the potential to replace and outperform standard designs and methods. This protocol describes CultureLED, a well plated cell cu
