Food industry is seeking for strategies to enhance production throughput in order to reduce costs. One bottleneck is not the production process itself, but the subsequent quality control analysis of each production charge. The herein described invention expedites this process and is therefore of interest for contract analytic labs as well as for food production companies with an own quality analysis laboratory. The culture medium has been optimized for osmo-tolerant yeast growth and has been tested and validated in comparison to conventional culture media. The invention is ready for industrial use.

Die neue Technologie beinhaltet einen Deckel für Probenröhrchen (z. B. Kryoröhrchen), der mit einem Kanal für z. B. Thermoelemente ausgestattet sein soll und somit erstmalig definierte Messungen ermöglichen und gleichzeitig Kontaminationen verhindern kann. Der neuartige Deckel soll die Möglichkeit bieten, weitere Komponenten zu integrieren.

The herein presented new architecture of a bioreactor basically consists of an inner and outer cylinder, whereas the disperse phases are added in either one of the cylinders. The two key elements of the design are baffles on the upper end of the inner cylinder, which prevent a mixture of the disperse phases, in combination with a collection device placed on top of the inner cylinder. This design allows continuous product extraction by means of biocompatible solvents and a simultaneous oxygen supply.
Moreover, the addition of both disperse phases and the regulation of the loop flow can be adapted continuously and anytime through steering of the volume flow rates. With this invention three or four phases can be brought together intensively with only small transport hindrances while the two additional disperse phases are spatially separated. On behalf of the University of Aachen (RWTH Aachen), PROvendis offers access to rights for commercial use as well as the opportunity for further co-development and evaluation. The design of the reactor and the requested fluid dynamics can be assisted by the inventors.

Die vorgestellte Technologie beinhaltet eine am Kopf montierbare Vorrichtung, die es erlaubt, rund um den Kopf durch Aktuatoren (z. B. Vibrationsmotoren) Reize zu übertragen. Die Aktuatoren sind in drei konzentrischen Ellipsen rund um den Kopfmittelpunkt angebracht. Somit wird erstmals das intuitive Auffinden von Punkten in einem virtuellen oder realen 3D-Raum ohne zusätzliche optische oder auditive Reize ermöglicht.

We present light-emitting electrochemical cells based on hybrid lead halide perovskite nanoparticles. The latter are not oxygen sensitive and therefore the LEECs can be produced from solution or by spraying. The resulting LEECs are characterized by a four layer structure. They feature moderate luminance (> 2 cd/m2) and efficacies (> 0.02 cd/A), but high stabilities even after keeping
the devices under ambient conditions.

A set of novel platinum (IV) oxaliplatin derivatives that are tumour-targeted through albumin binding have been synthesized and tested in vitro and in tumorigenic mice, with highly promising results.
