Description

Fermentation liquor viable bacteria concentration real time on-line detection device
One, technical field
The utility model relates to the detection of microorganism, is specially the device that biological fermentation process fermentation liquor viable bacteria concentration real-time online detects.
Two, background technology
Fermentation process is extremely complicated biochemical reaction process, and the factor that influences sweat is a lot, as the kind of the composition of fermentation liquor and concentration, temperature, pH value, stirring rate, viable bacteria and concentration or the like.In above-mentioned factor, viable bacteria concentration is most important technological parameter, because under certain condition, the yield of fermentation and viable bacteria concentration are closely related.Therefore, the real-time online of sweat viable bacteria concentration detect to grasp and the control biological fermentation process, hydrolysis and fermentation information, improve fermented quality, realize that the robotization of biofermentation is significant.
At present, the off-line measurement method of viable bacteria concentration has: dry weight method, optical densitometric method, cell counting, ultrasonic Method for Measuring.The dry weight method is based on the method for terrestrial gravitation, at first needs filtering fermentation liquor is used distilled water flushing, and it is dry to put into micro-wave oven and exsiccator then, and several times are done in weighing on electronic balance more continuously, average as measurement result.The dry weight method has many shortcomings, at first, generally contains multiple granular organism and inorganics in the biological fermentation process, and they mix with microorganism, is difficult to they and microorganism are separated.Secondly thalline of living and dead thalline are all influential to measurement result, are the thalline numbers of living and we wish to obtain.Though the dry weight method has these shortcomings owing to can not find other better reference method, so at present people still the dry weight method as a kind of reference method.Optical densitometric method (being OD) is another kind of reference method, when with the irradiate light fermentation liquor of certain wavelength, thalline and graininess suspension have reflection and scattering process to light, between reflected light or scattered light and the somatic cells quantity certain corresponding relation is arranged, can be made into the biomass detector according to this principle.But the reading of this quasi-instrument is subject to the influence of fermentation liquor color, turbidity and graininess suspension, can not get rid of the influence of dead thalline, and this quasi-instrument is difficult to be used for measuring mud shape fermentate.For number and the cell activity that detects viable bacteria, adopt cell counter usually or use methylene blue staining, count with microscopic examination then.But this method will be done repeatedly and dilute, observes counting, wastes time and energy very much.Ultrasonic Method for Measuring is that its amplitude can decay when utilizing ultrasound wave to pass through fermentation liquor, and velocity of propagation can change to some extent, and principle can be made into biomass and measures instrument in view of the above.But this quasi-instrument is subject to the influence of the variation of fermentation liquor composition, bubble, temperature variation and viscosity.
Said method is an off-line measurement, all will be from fermentation tank draw samples, off-line measurement brings two problems: bring assorted bacterium in the sampling process easily on the one hand and infect fermentation liquor in the fermentation tank; Off-line measurement has very big hysteresis quality on the other hand, brings difficulty for the automatic control of sweat.
The existence of microbial cell can influence the electrical feature of fermentation, there is the scholar to attempt to survey living bacterial cells concentration by impedance measurement, but the research of this method does not reach realistic scale, even if because under laboratory condition, the complicated variation also can appear in the impedance of fermentation liquor.When bigger variations took place for the composition of fermentation liquor, particularly during the bigger variation of fermentation liquor intermediate ion concentration generation, the accuracy of impedance measurement was very poor.
The scholar is also arranged according to the permittivity of fermentation liquor dependence for viable bacteria concentration and survey frequency, adopt the permittivity mensuration that the yeast viable cell concentrations is carried out real-time online and detect (the research of yeast concentration real-time on-line detecting method, Food Science, 1999 12 phases), detection system is made up of fermentor, platinum electrode, Hewlett-Packard's network analyzer, A/D converter, computing machine etc.Wherein network analyzer and platinum electrode cost height, be not easy to popularize.

ϵ f = 1 n R r 2 π ϵ 0 l C f ε f=kC f ( k = 1 n R r 2 π ϵ 0 l )
Therefore, can determine the changes delta ε of fermentation liquor permittivity by the variation of potential electrode electric capacity fIn the fermentation process, when living bacterial cells concentration changes, according to above-mentioned detection principle, the electric permittivity epsilon of fermentation liquor fCan change, thereby the electric capacity on the capacitive transducer changes.Work as capacitor C fWhen subtle change takes place, the applied signal voltage V of lock-in amplifier iAmplitude and phase place generation respective change.Because input signal V · i = R R + 1 jω c f V · s (having ignored the input impedance that lock is put), wherein V sBe the high frequency sinusoidal signal.Being locked on the reference signal frequency when the frequency input signal of lock-in amplifier is ω=ω R, regulate V iWith V RBetween phase differential when equalling zero, lock-in amplifier output voltage amplitude V o=KV iWherein K is an enlargement factor, and after the lock-in amplifier parameter was selected, it was a constant.Therefore, final available output voltage changes the variation that reflects viable bacteria concentration.
The bio-fermented liquid viable bacteria concentration real time on-line detection device that the utility model provides, it is made up of electrode capacitance sensor, intermediate conversion device, A/D converter, computing machine, display and printer.
The effect of capacitive transducer is that non-electric charge quantity signalling (viable bacteria concentration) is converted to electric signal (electric capacity), since the detected output signal of capacitive transducer a little less than, so accurate to measure the small capacitance variable quantity that is caused by the viable bacteria concentration change delicately be the main task that the intermediate conversion device will solve under the capacitive.
The intermediate conversion device adopts lock-in amplifier to realize that lock-in amplifier is based on coherent detection technology, utilizes reference signal frequency relevant with frequency input signal, and is uncorrelated with noise frequency, thereby extracts useful signal from noise background.Sort circuit has extremely strong anti-interference, high sensitivity, very wide dynamic range, can be used as Detection of weak.The voltage signal of lock-in amplifier output is given computing machine and is carried out the data filtering processing after the A/D conversion, obtain required data.Data processing adopts software to finish, and used filtering method is an intermediate value average filter method.
Above-mentioned capacitive transducer is made of electrode, external electrode and contact conductor in teflon cover, the coaxial cylindrical; Electrode is installed in teflon and puts, and passes teflon cover and be connected with contact conductor; The coaxial cylindrical internal and external electrode is made by nontoxic, the harmless resistant to elevated temperatures molding powder insulating material of electrostatic spraying on the stainless-steel tube, below interior electrode, fix a circular plug, on external electrode, be drilled with aperture, make living bacterial cells pass through easily on the one hand, make the internal and external electrode area equate on the other hand as far as possible; Internal and external electrode is done respectively and is installed after insulation is handled again.Described intermediate conversion device is a lock-in amplifier, and lock-in amplifier is connected with capacitive transducer and function signal generator.
