Bioreactor consisting of silicone materials

摘要

The invention relates to a bioreactor for cultivating phototrophic organisms in an aqueous culture medium, the reactor parts that come into contact with the culture medium being entirely or partially produced from silicone materials. The invention is characterized in that the silicone materials are produced from addition-crosslinked silicones, and the surface of the silicone materials has a contact angle to the water of at least 100°.

主权项

1. A bioreactor for the cultivation of phototrophic organisms, said bioreactor comprising an aqueous culture medium of a phototropic organism and reactor walls coming into contact with the culture medium, wherein the reactor walls completely or partially comprise silicone materials, wherein the silicone materials comprise addition-crosslinked silicones, wherein the surface of the silicone materials has a contact angle with water of at least 100°, and wherein the surface of the silicone materials largely prevents biofouling on the reactor parts coming into contact with the culture medium during the cultivation of the phototropic organisms.
