The invention relates to a method, to a device, and to a system for the automated determination of optical densities or of the change in optical densities of reaction mixtures in shaken reactors during shaking operation. Methods and devices currently used therefor are often unreliable, are susceptible to environmental and process factors, or require interruptions to the shaking operation that impair the process control. The problem addressed by the invention is that of specifying a method and a device for the automated determination of optical densities or of the change in optical densities of reaction mixtures in shaken reactors during shaking operation that operate reliably under various environmental and process conditions. This problem is solved by means of a new measurement method, wherein the reaction mixture distribution, which periodically fluctuates because of the shaking action, is used to record measurement points (20/21) of transmission/scattered-light measurements, which measurement points fluctuate periodically as a result of shaking. All measurement points (20/21) of a measurement operation are combined into a measurement series (34), from which the optical density and/or the change in the optical density, and other process parameters, can be determined with high reliability by means of suitable mathematical methods. The invention is suitable in particular for biotechnological, pharmaceutical, chemical, and biochemical screening and optimization and process-monitoring applications. |
