Important: Never close all three sensor holes with the screws during autoclaving. It is recommended
to leave one sensor hole empty and cover the lid completely with aluminium foil to prevent pressure
build-up during autoclaving and keep the vessel protected from any contamination prior experiment
initiation. Provided sensors such as pH/temp, O
2
and CO
2
probes can be autoclaved but their lifetime
is reduced by repeated autoclaving.
• Insert the assembled and prepared vessel into the Photobioreactor and lock it using the metal clips (Fig. 13C-1).
For detail description of recommended protocol for initiation of cultivation for algae and
cyanobacteria in PBR FMT150 please refer to chapter 6 on page 60.

4.2.4 3000 ML VESSEL SPECIFICS
The PBR FMT150/3000 provides more connectors than in 400/1000 ml models to give the user broader range of connected
optional instruments and larger scope of operational features.
Please refer to Fig. 15 for detail description of the 3000ml vessel lid and all the connectors:
• (2) Holders for easy vessel manipulation.
• (3) Screws for fastening part of the lid to the vessel.
