1. WARNINGS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE TURNING THE PHOTOBIOREACTOR ON:
•Remove all packaging and transport protectors before connecting the photobioreactor to the power supply.
•Use only cables supplied by the manufacturer.
•Keep the device dry outside and avoid working in high humidity environment!
•The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage due to improper operation!
•Water and other liquids should only be placed in vessels designed for the purpose and according to
instructions included in this manual.
GENERAL ELECTRICAL SAFETY GUIDELINES:
•Perform a routine check of the devices and their wiring.
•Replace worn or damaged cords immediately.
•Use appropriate electrical extension cords/power bars and do not overload them.
•Place the device on a flat and firm surface. Keep away from wet floors and counters.
•Avoid touching the device, socket outlets or switches if your hands are wet.
•Do not perform any alterations to the electrical parts of the device or its components.
Warning:
The Photobioreactor is considered Class 1M* LED Product. LED radiation may be harmful to eye. Avoid direct
and strongly reflected exposure. Use protective glasses.
*Class 1M: Laser and LED equipment that is safe for the naked eye under foreseeable conditions of operation.
Looking directly into the source of radiation by employing optics ithin the beam, such as magnifying glass,
telescope or microscope, can be potentially hazardous.

.General Description
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Photobioreactor FMT150 feature a unique combination of the cultivator and computer controlled monitoring device.
The Photobioreactor FMT150 combines a cultivation vessel with the built-in fluorometer and densitometer. It is
primarily designed for modular and precise phototrophic cultivation of algae, cyanobacteria and bacteria. Light power
and spectral composition as well as temperature and aeration gas composition can be set with high accuracy.
User defined cultivation conditions can be dynamically varied according to user defined protocol. Continuous online
monitoring of cultivation conditions and measured parameters is possible via the optional PBR software. Light,
temperature, gas composition, and culture medium regime can be programmed to oscillate with various amplitudes
and frequencies with user-defined time steps from milliseconds to hours via the software or via the control unit.
Turbidostatic cultivation can be used for the stabilization of the suspensions via optical density control. In addition, up
to 8 peristaltic pumps for different chemostat cultivation control can be linked to the Photobioreactor FMT150 for the
highly precise control of cultivation conditions.
The growth of the cultures is monitored by the integrated densitometer (OD 7 0, 680 nm). Relative chlorophyll
content of the culture can also be monitored continuously by the difference of optical densities at 680 and 7 0 nm.
The instantaneous physiological state of the culture is measured by the Photosystem II quantum yield Fv/Fm.
The Photobioreactor FMT150 has a flat-vessel design that enables uniform illumination over the whole culture.
Photobioreactors are currently manufactured in three cultivation vessel capacities: 400 ml, 1000 ml and 3000 ml.
All Photobioreactor models may be supplied with a number of optional accessories – sensors, stirrers, pumps, etc.
Control of the Photobioreactor is possible with either the control unit of the photobioreactor itself or the PBR
software. However, the PBR software provides much wider functionality to define, control, display and analyze the
experimental conditions and data.

3. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Standard version of the Photobioreactor FMT150 consists of a cultivation vessel with a sealable lid and a base box
containing electronics circuitry, LED light panel (Fig. 1A) and other components essential for the optimal operation of
the photobioreactor.

Fig. 1: A) Photobioreactor body consists of a flat vessel holding the suspension and of a base box with electronics circuitry. B) The
block scheme of the instrument shows the Control Processor Unit exchanging data and protocol with external computer (PC) and
auxiliary external modules. The Control Unit governs measurements of parameters such as OD and chlorophyll fluorescence plus
parameters measured by auxiliary sensors. It also controls the actinic light sources and temperature of the culture. C) Detail of the
LED configuration. D) Uncorrected optical density spectrum of cyanobacterial suspension. The lines with arrows inate wavelengths of
various light sources that are integrated in the instrument. The detection range of the photodiode is also shown. E) Detail (rotated
top-to-bottom view) of the fluorometer and densitometer. F) Schematic representation of optional gas supply components and
modules that can be used to stabilize aeration and set CO concentration level.

3.Device Description
The array of high-power light emitting diodes (LEDs) is located behind the cultivation vessel.
In the bottom corner of the front of the vessel is a semiconductor light sensor for measuring fluorescence emission
and suspension optical density by attenuation of light that was emitted from the LEDs (Fig. 1E)
The Photobioreactor can also control external modules such as peristaltic pumps and solenoid valves via the
photobioreactor control unit (shown schematically in Fig. 1F and Fig. ). The solenoid valves are used to switch off the
gas supply to the culture (bubbling) during optical measurements. Peristaltic pumps are used in turbidostat and
chemostat modes to supply fresh medium or buffer.

3.2 STANDARD COMPONENTS
Photobioreactor FMT150 can be purchased in different configurations from minimal up to complex system consisting
of numerous accessories linked together. They can be controlled via the Photobioreactor control unit itself or by the
Page 11

3.Device Description
PBR software for full operation of the system. However, the Photobioreactor control unit offers only static manual
control.
Minimal required configuration that is recommended to be purchased for optimal operation of the Photobioreactor
cultivation and monitoring system consists of se of s andard pho obioreac or componen s (as listed below) plus air
pump with bubble interruption valve and pH/ empera ure module. Components that are part of minimal
Photobioreactor FMT150 configuration are shown in Fig. 6. Optional components that are available as accessory
modules and can be purchased together with Photobioreactor FMT150 are described in chapter 5

3.3 CONTROL UNIT FRONT PANEL
Photobioreactor Control Unit front panel can be used for simple manual control of the PBR FMT150. By using the keys
on the front panel the operation of cultivation and monitoring units such as pH/temperature sensor, light control, OD
monitoring module, PWM mode or CO and O sensor can be controlled. When FMT150 photobioreactor is purchased
without the Remote Control System for PBR FMT150 then all of the control has to be set up manually using the front
panel of the FMT150 control unit. The user can read out from the display the actual values for the given sensor or
monitoring unit.
Impor an : Please note that no user-defined protocols can be designed and no data recording is possible without the
PC and PBR software.
No e: Please note that neither turbidostat nor chemostat module can be operated if FMT150 is purchased without the
PBR software.
The front panel of the FMT150 control unit has 4 LED lights on the left and 5 control keys on the right (Fig. 7).
