Important: It is necessary to allow 20 minutes stabilization time for the device prior any experiment
or calibration is performed. This stabilization time is required for temperature stabilization of the
measuring system.
Important: It is strongly recommended to use back-up UPS system to protect the PBR FMT150 system
from power outage. If UPS system is not used and the AC power is turned off unexpectedly the PBR
FMT150.1 control unit needs to be switched ON with the MAINS key. After switching the unit ON, all
previous settings will be reset. Please note that if PBR software is used and the power outage occurred
all previous settings will be restored and the currently running experiments will continue.
In case of the PBR FMT150.2, control unit will automatically switch ON after the AC power is restored
again and no manual action is required.
4.2 CULTIVATION VESSEL
The standard cultivation vessel has capacity of 400 ml, 1000 ml or 3000 ml (depending on the unit ordered). It is made
from flame-proof glass (thickness 3.3 mm), stainless steel (AISI316L), duralumin with black eloxal coating, silicone sealing,
and Lukopren S6410T glue. Each vessel is tested and autoclaved (20 minutes at 120 °C) by the manufacturer before
distribution.

4.2.1 SETUP
The lid of the vessel is fastened to the vessel via two screws (n°3 in Fig. 13C) using the hex key provided. The lid has two
holders built in for easy handling of the vessel in and out of the photobioreactor (n°2 Fig. 13C). There are four openings for
luer connectors. These are used for connection of aeration tubing, sampling tubing and waste expel tubing (Fig. 13B). The
