Application description of the installation
Revobiom selects and directs the evolution of complete microorganism ecosystems, mimicking the natural processes of Darwinian evolution. Whether for ecology, food, energy or public health, micro-organisms are at the heart of todays major challenges. To lead this revolution, the company is developing cutting-edge millifluidic technology. This technology is based on digital millifluidics, which works on the basis of “drop trains”: a succession of hundreds of drops and millimetric air bubbles, carried by oil and manipulated in a tube (diameter 2mm). Each drop, a bioreactor (20 microliters), enables the culture and evolution of a microbial cocktail. The generation of these drops is essential to our process, and the IGUS solution enables us to achieve this reliably, repeatably and precisely. This involves using a cartesian robot arm (xyz) to move the outside of a tube (by suction) in different liquids, so as to generate the desired succession of bioreactors (drops) and gas bubbles, lubricated by oil (three-phase fluid). The automation of this arm, and of the fluid controllers around it, makes it possible to couple this technological brick called "sipper" to our technologies. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
Problem definition
These drops are the cornerstone of our technology and know-how. However, there is no industrial solution for generating drops automatically to our specifications. So we developed this know-how in-house. IGUS solutions enable us to produce these drops in a highly reproducible and automated way, despite the large number of complex physico-chemical and biological parameters to be considered. Precision, speed and robustness are at the heart of our specifications, and IGUS solutions meet them. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
How were processes optimized/costs saved/increased efficiency with automation?
By automating the process using the IGUS solution, we were able to reduce risks, streamline the process, save time, and improve the success rate and yield.
