Description

Disposable biosafety bioreactor and system
Technical Field
The utility model belongs to the technical field of bioengineering, and particularly relates to a disposable biological safety type bioreactor and a system.
Background
A disposable bioreactor is a new type of bioreactor, typically made of disposable plastic or stainless steel, which can be used in the following fields in general: such as cell culture, bacterial culture, virus culture, monoclonal antibody and the like. However, the existing bioreactor is generally applied to large-scale cell or microorganism culture (such as commercial application), and is difficult to meet the small-scale experimental requirement. For example, when researchers are in the early stages of vaccine incubation, it is often necessary to first perform multiple batches of small-scale virus cultures in the laboratory. However, the existing biosafety reactor has certain defects in terms of cost, safety and operation convenience for small-scale virus culture.
For example, chinese patent publication No. CN102492607B discloses a disposable bioreactor system and method. Wherein the disposable bioreactor system comprises: a disposable container comprising at least one sample inlet, at least one discharge outlet, at least one collection port, the integrity of the sterile environment being protected using a sterile filter connected to all external open ports; a structure for supporting the disposable container; one or more sensors that sense one or more parameters of the biological material in the container; a heater for heating the contents of the container, the heater having a thermostat; and a mixing system provided with the system such that the biological material contained in the disposable container is mixed. The whole volume of the bioreactor system is larger, a large-capacity bioreactor is adopted, a series of auxiliary supporting equipment is needed, the cost is high, and higher requirements are also put forward on experimental operation space. And, there is a large difference in practical application process due to large-scale microorganism or cell culture and microminiature microorganism or cell culture. Therefore, even if the conventional equipment is reduced in volume at equal ratio, it is difficult to satisfy the laboratory microminiature experiment requirements. Also for example, chinese patent application publication No. CN103945928A discloses a single-use mixing and bioreactor system that would have similar problems when applied to microminiature experiments.
To further adapt to the requirements of microminiature experiments, some designs of small-sized reactors have also been proposed in the prior art, for example, chinese patent application with application publication No. CN102212474a, which discloses a small-sized bioreactor comprising: the cell culture device comprises a cell culture tank body, a temperature control sleeve, a liquid (gas) supplementing device, a cell optical density detecting sleeve and a culture control device, wherein the cell culture tank body is connected with the liquid supplementing device, and the temperature control sleeve, the cell optical density detecting sleeve and the culture control device are matched to provide optimized growth conditions for cell culture. However, for such a small bioreactor, steam sterilization of the whole is required after each reaction, and for batch experiments, the operation is complicated and the application cost is higher. Moreover, when the bioreactor is used for culturing pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria or viruses, it is difficult to ensure that the inside and outside environment of the reactor are not disturbed (for example, pathogenic bacteria in the reactor may overflow to pollute the experimental environment and even threaten the safety of operators).
Thus, there is a need for a bioreactor suitable for use in a small scale microbial or cell culture scenario,
And a support device for maintaining the normal operation of the bioreactor.

at least one first inlet 4 for introducing a first gas (e.g., compressed air, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, etc.) and at least one second inlet for introducing a first liquid (e.g., cell culture liquid, bacteria to be cultured, water, etc.) are provided at the first space, and both the first inlet and the second inlet are provided outside the condensed water guiding region, so as to avoid blockage and pollution of the first inlet or the second inlet by condensed water in the reaction process; wherein when the bioreactor is in an operational state (a placed state as shown in fig. 1 a), the opening of the first inlet is higher than the second inlet to avoid water or other liquid substances discharged through the second inlet from flowing through the first inlet to cause clogging or contamination thereof;
The lower end region of the second space is further provided with at least one first outlet 5 for withdrawing the liquid.
In other embodiments, in combination with specific growth characteristics of the microorganism, some or all of the first inlet or the second inlet may be provided at the wall of the second space 14, so that part of the gas or liquid sample may be directly introduced into the culture liquid in the second space.
In some embodiments, the reaction pouch is a disposable bioreactor pouch, and the disposable bioreactor pouch comprises, in order from the inside to the outside: a contact layer for direct contact with microorganisms or cell cultures or the like, a barrier layer for gas barrier and a structural layer for providing mechanical stability.
In particular, in some embodiments, the volume of the reaction pouch is preferably set to 1.5L, 2L,
2.5L or 5L.
In particular, in some embodiments, the bioreactor bag is a disposable bag composed of three layers of plastic material, one layer made of polyethylene terephthalate or LDPE to provide mechanical stability. The intermediate layer is made of PVA or PVC and serves as a gas barrier. Finally, the contact layer with the cell culture is made of PVA or PP.
In order to enable stable cultivation of microorganisms or cells in small-volume bioreaction bags, for example,
Ensuring that other structures associated with the reaction pouch (e.g., first inlet, second inlet, etc.) can operate stably. The volume (or capacity) of the second space is typically smaller than the volume of the first space. Preferably, the second space is about 20% -50% of the volume of the interior receiving chamber of the reaction pouch.
For example, in some embodiments, when the bioreactor bag is 5L, the second space is about 2L.
During the experiment it was necessary to ensure that the total amount of liquid added did not exceed the volume of the second space.
For example, in some embodiments, a dividing line is provided in the first space and the second space for determining whether the liquid is excessively added.
It will be appreciated that the expression "first space" and "second space" used in the present utility model merely distinguishes the reaction pouch interior receiving chamber from a spatial function perspective. Thus, the first space and the second space may actually be spaces communicating without obstacles, as shown in fig. 1a and 1 c.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1d, the top wall 11 inside the condensate guiding zone is configured as a slope and the edge of the condensate guiding zone is provided with an annular rail 12, the annular rail 12 providing a guiding path L2 for the condensate to condense, reflux.
For example, in some embodiments, the top of the first space (or, only the condensate water guiding region) is provided as a slope having a certain inclination angle. Specifically, the top of the first space may be provided in an inverted conical shape.
For example, in some embodiments, the edge of the condensed water guiding area is provided with a circle of circular guide rail, when the air humidity of the first space is high, condensation can be preferentially performed on the inclined surface (i.e. the top wall surface 11) to form water drops, the water drops flow downwards along the inclined surface and collect on the inner side of the guide rail, and when the collected water drops gradually increase, the water drops flow downwards under the action of gravity and flow back into the second space.
In some embodiments, the wall surface of the reaction pouch inside the condensed water guide region is configured as a slope, and the inclination angle α (or gradient) of the slope is about 1 ° -5 °. Wherein, inclination refers to the included angle between the wall surface of the condensed water guiding area and the horizontal plane L1 when the bioreactor is vertically placed.
Preferably, the incline angle of the incline is 2-3 °.
Further, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1e, the annular rail is of a design with a gradually decreasing curvature from its first end to its second end (i.e. condensate outlet end). Specifically, the curvature of each point of the guide path of the endless guide rail 12 gradually decreases in the direction from the first end to the second end thereof, so that the second end of the guide path is lower than the first end, that is, the condensate water outlet end is at the lowest position.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1c, the bioreactor further comprises: a stirring device 2, wherein the stirring device 2 comprises a stirring shaft 22 and a stirring paddle 21 arranged at the tail end of the stirring shaft; a mounting hole for mounting the stirring device 2 is formed in the central area of the condensed water guiding area, the stirring shaft 22 is fixedly mounted on the reaction bag through the mounting hole, and the stirring paddle 21 extends into the second space;
wherein the stirring shaft 22 is provided with a heating unit 23 (for example, a constant temperature heating plate can be provided) at one side at or near the condensed water guiding region, so as to avoid condensed water from forming at the outer side of the condensed water guiding region; the monitoring end of the working state monitoring module is higher than the horizontal height of the stirring paddle so as to reduce the interference of the stirring paddle on the working stability of the working state monitoring module.
In the embodiment of the utility model, in order to avoid that excessive condensed water is generated in the first space due to too low temperature and too high humidity, so that the condensed water may be condensed outside the condensed water guiding area or the condensed water in the condensed water guiding area overflows, an electric heating plate is arranged at a position of the stirring shaft 22, which is close to the condensed water guiding area and far from the liquid level, for example, the electric heating plate can start a heating function when the humidity is too high or the temperature is too low.
It will be appreciated that since the stirring device is typically made of metal, when the stirring device is not in operation for heating, the top of the stirring shaft will typically aggregate to form a volume of condensate water, some of which will flow back along the stirring shaft to the second space, and some of which will flow back along the guiding path under the influence of the condensate water guiding zone.
In some embodiments, the stirring device may be a magnetic stirring device.
In the embodiment of the utility model, in order to control the volume and the application cost of the miniaturized bioreactor,
an internal circulation type condensate water reflux scheme (without an external drainage pipeline) is provided, which can avoid blockage or even pollution of condensate water to various inlets or outlets in the reaction process, and can further ensure the internal stability of the bioreactor (reduce liquid loss).
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1d, an annular groove 12a for providing the guiding path L2 is provided in the annular guide rail 12, and a condensate outlet is provided on the annular groove 12a, and a bottom surface of the annular groove is obliquely arranged, so that the condensate outlet is a lowest horizontal point of the annular groove, and the condensed condensate in the annular groove is guided to flow out through the condensate outlet; wherein the condensed water outlet is arranged along a direction away from the first inlet and the second inlet.
In the embodiment of the utility model, by the low-outlet design of the inclined grooves, the condensate water can be further guided and promoted to form in a limited area (namely a condensate water guiding area), and the condensate water is prevented from overflowing due to excessive condensation. Particularly, when the highly pathogenic viruses or bacteria are cultured, concentrated formation and backflow of condensed water can ensure stable performance of experiments, and meanwhile, the possibility that the highly pathogenic viruses or bacteria overflow through a pipeline and pollute the external environment can be reduced.
In some embodiments, the first inlet (i.e. gas inlet) for introducing gas is provided with a first control valve (i.e. gas inlet valve), the second inlet (i.e. liquid inlet) for introducing liquid is provided with a second control valve (i.e. liquid inlet valve), the first space is provided with a second pressure monitoring unit (i.e. gas pressure monitoring unit) for monitoring the gas pressure inside the first space, and the first pressure monitoring unit (i.e. hydraulic pressure monitoring unit) is in communication connection with the second control valve, and the second pressure monitoring unit is in communication connection with the first control valve and the second control valve, respectively.
The following describes part of the working procedures of the air pressure monitoring unit, the hydraulic pressure monitoring unit, the air inlet valve and the liquid inlet valve:
When the hydraulic pressure monitoring unit monitors that the hydraulic pressure exceeds a preset first pressure threshold value, a first closing signal which indicates stopping liquid feeding is sent to the liquid inlet valve, and the liquid inlet valve responds to the first closing
A close signal keeps the liquid inlet closed;
and when the air pressure monitoring unit monitors that the air pressure exceeds a preset second pressure threshold value, sending a second closing signal for indicating stopping sample injection to an air inlet valve and a liquid inlet valve, and keeping the air inlet valve and the liquid inlet valve closed based on the second closing signal.
In some embodiments, when the hydraulic pressure or the air pressure is detected to exceed the preset pressure threshold value, an early warning signal can be directly sent to the user, and the user intervenes to judge whether the inlets need to be closed or opened.
In order to ensure the safety and reliability of a miniaturized experiment (for example, when the capacity of the reaction bag is only 0.5L, 1L or 2L), the embodiment of the utility model can avoid the experiment failure and even the reaction bag rupture caused by excessive liquid filling or air filling by synchronously monitoring the air pressure and the hydraulic pressure.
Further, in some embodiments, further comprising:
and the first liquid leakage monitoring module is arranged at the bottom of the reaction bag and used for monitoring whether the reaction bag leaks liquid or not (for example, the first liquid leakage monitoring module can be a liquid leakage sensor).
Further, in some embodiments, further comprising:

and the third control valve and the fourth control valve are in communication connection with the pressure monitoring sensor and the first liquid leakage monitoring module.
In this embodiment, in order to control the amount of the sterilizing substance and reduce adverse effects of the sterilizing process on the surrounding environment of the reaction bag (for example, a supporting device for supporting the reaction bag or a biosafety cabinet where the reaction bag is located), a mode of first recovering and then sterilizing is adopted.
The following describes a preferred sterilization procedure for the safety sterilization module:
step 21: the safety sterilization module (for example, a recovery valve and a sterilization valve) receives an opening signal (for example, when the leakage of the reaction bag is detected, such as the leakage state of the reaction bag is detected, or a sterilization instruction input by a user) is detected;

after the liquid is completely recovered, or after a certain preset recovery period (e.g., 10 s),
step 23 is performed: closing the recovery valve and opening the sterilizing valve, wherein the sterilizing valve is used for introducing sterilizing substances in the cavity into the reaction bag.
In some embodiments, a sterilizing substance for sterilizing the liquid fluid is pre-stored within the recovery bag.

Alternatively, in some embodiments, the bioreactor further comprises: the central control module is respectively in communication connection with one or more control valves, one or more monitoring units or monitoring modules; in order to be able to monitor and maintain the reaction safety in real time and accurately, the central control module comprises a risk monitoring unit.
Specifically, the risk monitoring unit is configured to perform the following procedure:
step 11, obtaining the monitoring value of the first leakage monitoring module (such as the leakage sensor
An electrical signal);
step 12, the risk monitoring unit judges the leakage risk according to the leakage value;
in order to accurately monitor the leakage state, the risk of misjudgment is reduced, and the leakage risk is classified into 0 level, 1 level and 2 level according to the magnitude of the leakage value;
then, respectively carrying out safety early warning or safety disinfection and other treatments on the bioreactor according to the specific leakage risk degree;
step 13: when the leakage risk is 1, the risk monitoring unit judges whether the hydraulic pressure is abnormal or not;
If yes, corresponding disinfection signals are generated to the recovery valve and the disinfection valve;
if not, continuing to monitor the leakage risk and the hydraulic pressure, and if the monitored hydraulic pressure monitoring value increases or the hydraulic pressure is abnormal, generating corresponding disinfection signals to the recovery valve and the disinfection valve;
step 14: when the leakage risk is 2, corresponding starting signals are directly generated to the recovery valve and the disinfection valve.
In some embodiments, when the risk of leakage is detected, an early warning signal can also be generated to the staff, and the staff can manually judge whether to continue the experiment or not.
In this embodiment, two limited parameters of external leakage and internal hydraulic pressure are selected for monitoring, so as to provide a monitoring method with high sensitivity and relatively low cost (i.e. a dual-mechanism risk assessment method is provided).
In fact, current bacterial or viral cultures that are infectious, highly pathogenic often need to be performed in high-level biosafety laboratories (e.g., P3 laboratories). In the embodiment, all key state monitoring, double-mechanism risk assessment and safety protection functions are integrated in a single small-sized bioreactor, so that when high-hazard microorganism culture is carried out in the small-sized bioreactor, the internal environment stability of the reactor can be ensured through monitoring key parameters and designing internal circulation type condensate water backflow, and autonomous risk monitoring and killing can be finished according to low-cost double-mechanism monitoring.
Therefore, the small bioreactor can be directly applied to culturing cells or microorganisms in a biosafety cabinet (BSC), so that the cost of manpower and material resources for culturing high-hazard microorganisms can be reduced to a certain extent.
Alternatively, in other embodiments, the risk monitoring unit operates on the following principle/flow:
judging a risk state of the bioreactor according to the hydraulic pressure of the pressure sensor and the leakage value of the leakage sensor, wherein the risk state comprises the following steps: a safe state, and/or a pending state, and/or a weeping state; the specific judging mode is as follows:
judging the depressurization risk of the reaction bag according to the variation parameters of the hydraulic pressure (for example, the falling value of the pressure or the falling speed of the pressure); when the change parameter belongs to a preset first depressurization threshold value, the depressurization risk is first-level, when the change parameter belongs to a preset second depressurization threshold value, the depressurization risk is second-level, and otherwise, the depressurization risk is zero-level;
judging the leakage risk of the reaction bag according to the leakage value (for example, in some embodiments, the leakage value is an electrical signal value of a leakage sensor), wherein the leakage risk is first-order when the leakage value belongs to a preset first leakage threshold value, second-order when the leakage value belongs to a preset second leakage threshold value, and otherwise the leakage risk is zero-order;
Judging the risk state according to the depressurization risk and/or the leakage risk; wherein, the liquid crystal display device comprises a liquid crystal display device,
when the depressurization risk is a second level and/or the leakage risk is a second level, the risk state is a leakage state; when the depressurization risk and the weeping risk are zero-order, the risk state is a safety state; otherwise, the risk state is a pending state.
In some embodiments, a condensate guiding region is further formed at a top region of the first space for guiding condensate to be condensed in the condensate guiding region and to flow back into the second space through a guiding path provided by the condensate guiding region. When the risk state is detected to be a pending state or a liquid leakage state, the risk monitoring unit or the central control module respectively sends corresponding early warning signals to a user; further, the risk monitoring unit or the central control module may further perform secondary monitoring on the depressurization risk and/or the leakage risk of the bioreactor in response to the feedback signal sent by the user, or receive or correct the early warning signal.
In some embodiments, when the depressurization risk is first order and the leakage risk is zero order, the heating unit may heat the condensed water guide region in response to a first feedback signal issued by the user;
When the pressure reduction risk is monitored to be reduced to zero level in the heating process or after the heating process, the risk monitoring unit or the central control module responds to a first correction signal sent by a user to correct the risk state to be a safe state, otherwise, the risk monitoring unit or the central control module responds to a second correction signal sent by the user to correct the risk state to be a liquid leakage state.
Specifically, in some embodiments, when the risk status is monitored to be pending, the risk monitoring unit or the central control module needs to send an early warning signal to the user to remind the user to timely check the working status of the bioreactor (for example, whether there is a leakage tendency or a slight leakage phenomenon, or whether there is a problem of excessive condensation water aggregation, etc.).
For example, in some embodiments, when the risk state is detected to be a pending state, the user receives a corresponding early warning signal, at which time the user may choose to heat the condensed water guiding region (preferably, may heat the condensed water guiding region by a heating unit disposed on the stirring shaft) so as to limit or reduce formation of condensed water, thereby judging whether the current bioreactor has a problem of excessive condensation of condensed water, if so, the risk state may be corrected to a safe state by the user when the reduced-pressure risk returns to a normal state (such as zero level).
It will be appreciated that, especially for bioreactors having a volume of only a few liters (e.g., 1L),
the total amount of liquid in the reactor is relatively limited, and thus the hydraulic pressure is also relatively susceptible to multiple factors such as stirring speed, stirring force, leakage, condensation of condensate, and the like. At this time, it is difficult to find a problem at the first time if the monitoring difference value (corresponding to the second step-down threshold value) of the sensor is set too high, but if the monitoring difference value of the sensor is set too low, normal operation of the false alarm interference test may frequently occur. In this embodiment, the formation or backflow of condensed water is controlled or affected by using the internal circulation condensed water guiding area, so that the sensor does not interfere with the normal operation of the test due to excessive false alarm even if the monitoring difference is low (i.e., high sensitivity). In other words, the embodiment can adjust the accuracy of the leakage monitoring to a certain extent.
For example, in some embodiments, the monitored difference may be set to about 5% or even lower, specifically,
when the difference in hydraulic pressure reaches or exceeds 5%, the bioreactor is considered to currently have a higher risk of leakage.
Specifically, in some embodiments, the risk state may be converted to the safe state when it is monitored that the hydraulic pressure is restored to the desired level (the desired level may be determined according to the actual amount of liquid added) within the preset second time, and the risk of leakage is unchanged.
Or in some embodiments, when it is monitored that the hydraulic variation parameter does not change significantly (for example, still falls within the range of the first depressurization threshold value) within the preset third time, a corresponding early warning signal is sent to the user so as to prompt the user that there is a risk of excessive condensed water.
It will be appreciated that the various thresholds in this embodiment may be adaptively set by the user in conjunction with the actual conditions (e.g., volume of the reactor, amount of liquid added, etc.).
In this embodiment, the limited parameters are monitored in real time, so that a low-cost and high-precision monitoring mode is provided for the working state (particularly, the risk state) of the bioreactor, on one hand, the manual monitoring pressure of a worker can be reduced to a certain extent, and on the other hand, the interference caused by transitional monitoring (due to the error signal suspension test, the waste of manpower and material resources) can be avoided.
