DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRESSURE-CONTROLLED AND PRESSURE-REGULATED ELECTROPORATIVE TREATMENT OF BIOLOGICAL VEGETABLE PROCESS MATTER

摘要

The invention relates to a device for pressure-controlled and pressure-regulated electroporative treatment of biological vegetable process matter, comprising a cell disruption reactor and a first process matter pump upstream of the flow channel inlet and a second process matter pump downstream of the flow channel outlet for pressurized flow of the process matter. Applying a pulse-shaped voltage to the electrode pair generating the disruption, an electrical field of up to 100 kV/cm is generated in the central region of the electrode gap. The flow through the two process matter pumps arranged in series with regard to the flow of the process matter is fed through the cell disruption reactor located therebetween, and the pressure on the process matter in the cell disruption reactor is controlled or regulated to an adjustable constant level of up to 10 bar, using proportional regulation of the difference in rotational speed.
