2.1 Procedure
Titel: 2026-0972507 - Purchase of a BioLector XT
\n
Beskrivelse: 1. The purchase concerns a BioLector XT microbioreactor system is intended for users\n associated
with the Novo Nordisk Foundation C0₂ Research Center (CORC) and the\n Department of Biological and
Chemical Engineering (BCE). The device allows running\n up to 48 cultures in parallel under
controlled environmental conditions.

2.\n A strong component of the Research and CORC and BCE is the development of microbial\n cell
factories and culture processes that can provide biosolutions to the urgent\n grand challenges of the
society. Our early-stage R&D should generate reliable\n and scalable bioprocess data, ensuring
results are relevant to larger-scale bioreactors,\n later to be demonstrated in AU Viborg. Therefore,
the small-scale cultures must\n be carried out under well defined environmental conditions,
monitoring parameters\n like dissolved oxygen, pH, and product fo1mation (usually linked to
fluorescence\n markers of genes of interest). The unique capabilities of the BioLector to monitor\n
several fluorescence, biomass, pH and dissolved oxygen in each individual well\n of a microtiter
plate, make it a potent tool to assist our microbial strain screening\n and design, as well as
culture media and fetmentation development under defined\n conditions and culture schemes sinular to
those of industrial applications.

3.\n The BioLector is a unique instrument in the market. It is the only instrument that\n gives the
combination of high oxygen transfer, real-time monitoring, and parallel\n microbioreactor capability,
which is 11ecessa1y for scalable bioprocess development.\n The capacity of manipulating gas
composition allows experiments under controlled\n and defined oxygen availability. Without these
capabilities, the research would\n produce less reliable and non-scalable data, which cannot support
further process\n development at larger scale. The high accuracy and scalability of results from the\n
BioLector cannot be achieved by conventional plate readers

4. There\n are no comparable products in the market. A wide search on a variety of websites was\n
carried out and only plate readers were found. Such systems only measure fluorescence\n and optical
density, and their shaking capabilities are usually low. In contrast,\n the plates used in the
BioLector have an especial geometty that, in combination\n with the high shaking frequency, allow
reaching oxygen transfer rates comparable\n to those of stirred tank bioreactors. Moreover,
conventional plate readers cannot\n measure neither the dissolved oxygen nor the pH, which is
essential for understanding\n the culture performance. This, together with the possibility of
manipulating\n the gas composition in the headspace, make it a unique system with virtually no
sinular\n devices in the market.

The purchase concerns a BioLector XT microbioreactor system is intended for users associated \nwith the Novo Nordisk Foundation C0₂ Research Center (CORC) and the Department of Biological and \nChemical Engineering (BCE).

A strong component of the Research and CORC and BCE is the development of microbial cell \nfactories and culture processes that can provide biosolutions to the urgent grand challenges of the \nsociety. Our early-stage R&D should generate reliable and scalable bioprocess data, ensuring \nresults are relevant to larger-scale bioreactors, later to be demonstrated in AU Viborg. Therefore, \nthe small-scale cultures must be carried out under well defined environmental conditions, \nmonitoring parameters like dissolved oxygen, pH, and product fo1mation (usually linked to \nfluorescence markers of genes of interest). The unique capabilities of the BioLector to monitor \nseveral fluorescence, biomass, pH and dissolved oxygen in each individual well of a microtiter \nplate, make it a potent tool to assist our microbial strain screening and design, as well as \nculture media and fetmentation development under defined conditions and culture schemes sinular to \nthose of industrial applications.\n\n3. The BioLector is a unique instrument in the market. It is the only instrument that gives the \ncombination of high oxygen transfer, real-time monitoring, and parallel microbioreactor capability, \nwhich is 11ecessa1y for scalable bioprocess development. The capacity of manipulating gas \ncomposition allows experiments under controlled and defined oxygen availability. Without these \ncapabilities, the research would produce less reliable and non-scalable data, which cannot support \nfurther process development at larger scale. The high accuracy and scalability of results from the \nBioLector cannot be achieved by conventional plate readers\n\n4. There are no comparable products in the market. A wide search on a variety of websites was \ncarried out and only plate readers were found. Such systems only measure fluorescence and optical \ndensity, and their shaking capabilities are usually low. In contrast, the plates used in the \nBioLector have an especial geometty that, in combination with the high shaking frequency, allow \nreaching oxygen transfer rates comparable to those of stirred tank bioreactors. Moreover, \nconventional plate readers cannot measure neither the dissolved oxygen nor the pH, which is \nessential for understanding the culture performance. This, together with the possibility of \nmanipulating the gas composition in the headspace, make it a unique system with virtually no \nsinular devices in the market.","bkSubTypeKode":"29","bkSubType":"Bekendtgørelse om indgåede kontrakter – det generelle direktiv, standardordningen","erAendring":false},"indholdsType":"HENTET_FRA_TED","sekundaereOrdregivere":[],"udforelsesstedNutsCode":["DK042"],"udforelsesstedSubLand":["Østjylland"],"udforelsesstedLand":["Danmark"],"udforelsesstedBy":[],"tilbudsfrister":[],"intressentfrister":[],"deltagelsefrister":[],"svarfrister":[],"antalParts":0,"antalLots":1,"udbudsDokumenter":[]},"opsummeringEN":{"card":{"titel":"2026-0972507 - Purchase of a BioLector XT","ordregiver":"Aarhus Universitet","ordregiverId":"ORG-31119103","ordregiverIdDatavasket":"31119103","publiceringsdato":"2026-04-17+02:00","cpvKode":"38000000","cpvTitel":"Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses)","formulartype":"Result","formulartypeKode":"result","tidsfrister":[],"alleOrdregivere":["Aarhus Universitet"],"beskrivelse":"1.
