Karen A. Darbinyan

Hello, which model of cell load are you using? Provide more info for more reliable answer.

See attached info may be useful for you.

Navnit Kumar Ramamoorthy

Dear Karen,

I understand the load cell's usage. From what I have seen in articles, and from observation of my peers who perform a chemostat, I understand that they have been using the bio-load cell to enable setting up an efficient dilution rate (indirect feedback loop). However, in my case, as the bioprocess proceeds, the culture broth's viscosity shoots up due to enzyme accumulation and mycelial growth. So, the density of the culture media and the feed solutions are definitely different. Would the load cell based dilution have a method to counteract this change?
