Background technology
In the liquid culture process of isolated organ (for example tip of a root of plant, stem apex, cotyledon, leaf primordium, the flower primordium etc.) in vitro tissue (for example callus of plant) of organism of organism (for example various microorganisms of bacterium, fungi, virus etc.), organism or the cell (for example various zooblast) of organism, all need to regularly replace substratum guaranteeing supply, and in time discharge the metabolic waste of cultured object to the enough nutrition of cultured object.Also need sampling at any time from the substratum at cultured object place simultaneously, with the growing state of monitoring cultured object.Therefore to carry out that biological liquid cultivates device---the requirement of bio-reactor is very high, such as in carrying out described replacing substratum and sampling testing process, strictness prevents that assorted bacterium from entering into the pollution that bio-reactor causes cultured object from various channels.
As shown in Figure 1, the prior biological reactor comprises culture tank 102, feed storage tank 103, collection storage tank 104 and the revolving filter 101 that is positioned at culture tank 102, and wherein, revolving filter 101 is fixed on the solid stir shaft 109 of culture tank 102.The rotation of solid stir shaft 109 drives paddle 110 and revolving filter 101 fixed thereon and rotates together, prevents the cultured object in the substratum or the filtering net of its clogged with fragments revolving filter.Culture tank 102 links to each other by feed-pipe 105 with feed storage tank 103; Culture tank 102 links to each other by collection tube 107 with collection storage tank 104.Feed-pipe 105 1 end openings stretch into feed storage tank 103 bottoms from feed storage tank 103 tops, and the other end opening is positioned at culture tank 102 tops, and fresh feed pump 106 is housed on the feed-pipe 105, fresh culture can be pumped into culture tank 102.Collection tube 107 1 end openings stretch into revolving filter 101 bottoms through culture tank 102 top covers from revolving filter 101 tops, the other end opening is positioned at collects storage tank 104 tops, and collecting pump 108 is housed on the collection tube 107, can pumps into and collect storage tank 104 filtering out substratum behind cultured object or its fragment.Substratum in the collection tube can be used for (a) and detect the cultured object metabolite content with monitoring cultured object growing state; (b) separate the useful products (such as penicillin, antibody etc.) that produces by cultured object metabolism; (c) reclaiming wherein nutritive ingredient by treatment steps such as purifying treatment utilizes etc. again.
The existing revolving filter shortcoming that is used for bio-reactor comprises: revolving filter upper end open, the liquid level of nutrient solution in the restriction culture tank.
As shown in Figure 1, the bio-reactor revolving filter of prior art, lower end closed, upper end open is to guarantee that collection tube can be inserted into filter bottom and also needn't rotate with the rotation of revolving filter.Therefore the liquid level of nutrient solution can not surpass the opening of revolving filter upper end in the culture tank, otherwise the nutrient solution that has cultured object or its fragment in the culture tank will sneak in the revolving filter, does not reach the purpose that obtains filtrate.Therefore the bio-reactor of prior art must comprise the device of the substratum liquid level height in the accurate control bio-reactor, such as level electrode etc., has increased the cost of bio-reactor greatly.
As shown in Figure 1, use the shortcoming of the bio-reactor of existing revolving filter to comprise:
(1) revolving filter installing/dismounting complicated operation.
Bio-reactor usually is used for the liquid culture of large-scale organism or its isolated organ, tissue and cell.According to demand of practical production, the scale of bio-reactor can be raised to several kilolitres from several, even reaches tons up to ten thousand, millions of tons (such as the required fermentor tank of production of antibiotics).Because behind the bio-reactor operation certain hour, cultured object or its fragment may stop up the filtering net of revolving filter, must dismantle revolving filter and clean its filtering net.The prior biological reactor must be installed revolving filter earlier when installing first, the culture tank top cover is installed again; When the dismounting revolving filter, must at first open top cover.If but in cultured object growth cycle process, in a single day the top cover of bio-reactor is opened, cultured object wherein contacts with extraneous, can cause the generation of pollution incident.
(2) can't on-line cleaning
The advantage of bio-reactor is and can cultivates organism and isolated organ, tissue and cell by continuous large-scale, but every kind of cultured object all has its certain growth cycle.If rotate the obstruction of strainer in the cultured object growth cycle, the prior biological reactor can't be realized not stopping the cultivation in the bio-reactor and be rotated the cleaning of strainer.In addition,, can stop cultivating, also must revolving filter be disassembled, carry out ultrasonic cleaning according to above-mentioned complex operations even a growth cycle finishes.
(3) the stir shaft load is big, increase sealing difficulty, and its motor takies the culture tank superjacent air space
Because the revolving filter of prior art is driven by the solid stir shaft of culture tank, thereby stir shaft not only will drive paddle and rotate, but also the rotation of the revolving filter of will loading, thereby need powerful motor that power is provided.And the power of motor is big more, its volume that takies is also big more, thereby the motor of prior art bio-reactor stir shaft can take the finite space of bioreactor culture jar top, requirement to the bio-reactor auxiliary facility is improved, increase such as the requirement to the height of equipment place factory building, the maintenance difficulty increases.
In addition, because the load of stir shaft increases, the mechanical seal difficulty of stir shaft and culture tank top cover also must increase, and causes the bio-reactor sealing easily not exclusively, causes the generation of pollution incident.
To sum up, prior art is used for the revolving filter of bio-reactor and comprises that also there is above shortcoming in the bio-reactor of revolving filter, needs a kind of bio-reactor that can overcome the revolving filter that is used for bio-reactor of above-mentioned shortcoming and comprise this revolving filter badly.
