Cell counting and characterization are crucial for many biotech processes, particularly for microalgae cultured in photobioreactors. These cultures are highly sensitive to factors such as lighting, nutrition, and potential infections, making frequent cell counting and characterization  essential to maximize biomass production. Holodetect's holographic and fluorescent microscopes automate this otherwise tedious manual task. We are thrilled to announce that our validation project with Albitech Ltd. has concluded successfully. The project demonstrated that Holodetect's counting results align closely with traditional Bürker chamber methods, showing roughly half the variance of manual counting. Additionally, Holodetect microscopes can connect directly to reactors, enabling inline automated monitoring of microalgae cultures. #Biotech #Microalgae #Automation #Innovation #Holodetect #CellCounting #FluorescentMicroscopy #HolographicMicroscopy

🚂 Next stop on the SMART Reactors train is project A05, a collaborative research project where Sri Sannihita Chavali, with the support of junior group leader Dr. Miriam Edel from the Gescher's Lab of Technical Microbiology - TUHH led by Prof. Dr. Johannes Gescher, and Christiane Roller from the Institute of Polymers and Composites led by Prof. Dr. Bodo Fiedler work towards tailoring functional electrode surfaces as substratum for hydrogenotrophic biofilms. This project aims to understand and establish techniques to synthesize porous carbon electrodes for robust biofilm growth. With the use of synthetic regulation, a more resilient biofilm can be developed on Aero- and Globugraphite electrodes where the knallgas bacterium Cupriavidus necator can produce useful platform chemicals from carbon dioxide. #SMARTreactors #TUHH #Technischistdasmöglich #TUHamburg #engineeringtofaceclimatechange #CupriavidusNecator #Aerographite #Globugraphite #Biofilm

Development of simplistic and stable Co-doped ZnS nanocomposite towards excellent removal of bisphenol A from wastewater and hydrogen production: Evaluation of reaction parameters by response surface methodology Significant Findings of this work The optimized value of the photocatalyst along with optimized parameters presented considerable photocatalytic activity for the degradation of BPA (94.69 %) and the value of hydrogen (3157.9 µmolh−1 g−1). Then, the confirmation of the results (theoretical and experimental yield) was carried out by RSM. The RSM indicated the predicted D % value of 96.84 % via the developed model with the optimized conditions of pH = 5.146, BPA dose = [53.448 mg/L], Photocatalyst dose = [58.3058 mg], and temperature = 32.2673 °C. The pHzpc of the prepared photocomposites was found to be ∼6.9.

"🌍 Pioneering Safer Cyanation Chemistry for a Greener Future!" Our latest innovation, #eCyanation, is a major leap in safe and scalable cyanation—a key reaction in synthesising pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials. Traditionally, these reactions depend on highly toxic cyanide sources like KCN or TMSCN, which pose serious health and environmental hazards. With #eCyanation, developed by Valerio Morlacci, Marco Milia, Jérémy SAITER, Irene Preet Bhela and Matthew Leech at the University of Greenwich/Faculty of Engineering and Science University of Greenwich, we use 5-aminotetrazole as a safe, solid cyanide source. This allows us to generate cyanide on-demand for both electrophilic and nucleophilic cyanation, making the entire process safer, versatile, and scalable for industrial applications. Discover how this method is transforming #GreenChemistry and enabling safer, sustainable manufacturing practices in our open-access article: https://lnkd.in/eTj3SVWS #Electrosynthesis #ChemicalInnovation #UniversityofGreenwich DualFlow
