微孔板培養(yǎng)流體力學分析系統(tǒng)

背景：
軌道搖動的微孔板孔內(nèi)培養(yǎng)物的流體動力學取決于：

•孔的形狀：方形孔比圓形孔產(chǎn)生更高的湍流。

這種效果與錐形燒瓶內(nèi)的擋板效果相當，但比后者要溫和。方形引起的額外湍流對于96孔板是溫和的，而對于24孔板則更強，尤其是在較高的振蕩頻率下。
•孔的直徑
•培養(yǎng)量
•振動頻率
•軌道振動器運動產(chǎn)生的G力。
G力與振動幅度成正比，與振動頻率的平方成正比：G力= 5.6 x 10-7 x振動幅度x rpm2（以mm表示振動幅度）。 G力依次決定：

培養(yǎng)液與水平面的夾角。根據(jù)經(jīng)驗（對于*混合而言），對于24孔板，該角度應約為50度（對應于1.2的G力，可以通過以50 mm / 225 rpm的搖動來建立） ，或25mm / 300rpm）和96個深孔板的70度（對應于2.5的G力，可以通過以50 mm / 300rpm搖動來建立）。

在實踐中：
從搖動頻率和搖動振幅（以及培養(yǎng)液與水平面的角度）獲知G力，就可以預測培養(yǎng)物*混合的程度（直至孔的底部）一定的培養(yǎng)量但是，其他因素也可能會產(chǎn)生影響，zui明顯的是表面張力（特別是與直徑小于8 mm的孔有關，例如96圓孔板中的孔），以及培養(yǎng)液能夠達到的程度。*跟隨振動器的運動（尤其與24孔板中的方形孔相關，振幅較小且高頻振動）。

因此，我們還使用高速攝影機制作了用于各種微孔板的搖動井的視頻，這些微孔板具有不同的培養(yǎng)量以及搖動幅度和搖動頻率的組合范圍。這些視頻可讓您自己判斷特定的振動條件是否適合您的應用。

In practice: Knowing the G-force from the shaking frequency and the shaking amplitude, (and so the angle of the culture fluid with the horizontal plane) makes it possible to predict to what extent the culture is fully mixed (down to the bottom of the well) for a certain culture volume. However, also other factors may have an impact, most notably the surface tension (especially relevant for wells with a diameter below 8 mm, such as the wells in 96-roundwell plate), and the degree to what extent the culture fluid is capable of fully following the movement of the shaker (especially relevant for square wells in 24 well plate, shaking at smal amplitude, and a high frequency).Therefore we have also made videos of shaking wells using a high-speed camera for a range of types of microplates, with different culture volumes and a range of combinations of shaking amplitudes and shaking frequencies. These videos allow you to judge for yourself if a specific shaking condition is suitable for your application:

•Videos 6-square deepwell plates

•Videos 24-square deepwell plates

•Videos 24-square extra tall deepwell plates (Hitplate 24)

•Videos 24-round shallow well plates

•Videos 96-square deepwell plates

•Videos 96-square half deepwell plates

•Videos 96-round shallow well plates

Furthermore, we have compiled lists of oxygen-transfer rates from literature data. When comparing these measure maximal oxygen-transfer rates with the videos of shaking wells under the same shaking conditions, the following pattern becomes apparent:

•If the cultures are not mixed down to the bottom of the wells, the OTR is below 30 mmol O2 l^-1 h^-1

•If the cultures are mixed down-to-the-bottom (just, but no further), the OTR is in the range of 30-40 mmol O2 l^-1 h^-1
