DEVICE FOR ASSESSING THE INTENSITY OF RESPIRATION OF MICROBIAL CULTURE Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC G01N33/48 

FIELD: biotechnology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to biotechnology. A device for assessing the intensity of respiration of a microbial culture is proposed, containing a container for cultivating a culture of microorganisms, a compressor for aeration, a pH meter, a receiving chamber with a 1% sodium hydroxide solution, in which the electrode of the pH meter is immersed. At the same time, the container for cultivating the culture of microorganisms is connected to the compressor for aeration through a tube equipped with a removable filter with a pore size of not more than 0.22 mcm, as well as a tube for blowing CO₂ formed during cultivation through a sodium hydroxide solution in the receiving chamber. The receiving chamber is equipped with a tube to remove excess air.

EFFECT: device provides a fast and efficient assessment of the growth of microbial culture during surface cultivation.
