Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ABSTRACT To increase their throughput, reduce laboratory work and improve reproducibility, automation of bioprocesses is gaining in importance nowadays. This applies in particular to microbioreactors (MBRs), which can be easily integrated in highly parallelized and automated platforms and, therefore, be applied for screenings, cell‐based assays, and bioprocess development. One promising pharmaceutical application for MBRs is the performance of phage sensitivity tests called phagograms in phage therapy. However, there is no automated and parallelized platform available so far that fulfills the requirements of phagograms. Therefore, a novel highly parallelizable capillary‐wave microbioreactor (cwMBR) with a volume of 7 µL, which has already been successfully applied for phagograms, was extended by an in‐house built platform for automated fluid addition in the single‐digit nanoliter range. The cwMBR has a phage‐repellent hydrophilic glass surface. Furthermore, a custom‐made highly parallelizable device for biomass measurement in the lower microliter scale was developed and validated in the cwMBR. To prove the applicability of the platform for the generation of phagograms, a phagogram using Escherichia coli and automated phage addition was performed. The results indicate a clear lysis of the bacteria by the phages and thus confirm the applicability of performing automated phagograms in the highly parallelizable cwMBR platform.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
