1st heading

Our goal was to finally create a manual for Do-It-Yourself Bioreactor. We have developed some devices and some structures but it can always be upgraded. Well atleast we give everyone the opportunity to try making it on your own. Prerequisite is a Lasercutter and a 3D printer. So get hold of one and use these files.

Software Packages

• Aachen_MasterControlprogram.zip
• Aachen_PumpCalibrator.zip
• Aachen_ODCalibrator.zip

The Source code of the whole Master Control Program software suite is available in the igemsoftware GitHub repository under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 3.0.

Hardware Design Files

1. Aachen_Lasercutter_files.zip
2. 3D printer:
   1. Aachen_PumpRotor.zip
   2. Aachen_Stirrer.zip
   3. Aachen_OD_Module.zip
3. Main Aachen_MainCircuit.zip

On the Software Side too we would like to helper recreate our project. These are some programs that helps debug, test and run the bioreactor. The Arduino Firmware is available in two versions: One to enable the slaves to talk to each other (scalable), the other one provides higher possible aeration rates, but no inter slave communication.

1. Arduino firmware:
   1. Pump debug/test:Aachen_PumpProg.zip
   2. Stirrer debug/test: Aachen_StirrerDebug.zip
   3. Pump Calibrator:Aachen_PumpCalibrator.zip
   4. OD debug/test: Aachen_OD_final.zip
   5. Final Arduino-Bioreactor Firmware:
      1. with inter slave communication: Aachen_Slave_Com.zip
      2. without inter slave communication: Aachen_without_Com.zip
