METHOD AND A CONTAINER FOR EFFECTING AT LEAST ONE NON-LETHAL CHANGE IN INHERENT PROPERTIES OF A NON-HUMAN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEM UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ZERO GRAVITY

摘要

The invention relates to a container for effecting at least one non-lethal change in inherent properties of a non-human biological system, in particular of a plant or of a fungus, under the influence of zero gravity, comprising a carrier plate which is configured to receive two capacitor plates of a plate capacitor, wherein the plates are situated parallel to one another and in each case perpendicularly on the carrier plate, at least one sample container which is arranged horizontally on the carrier plate, is adjacent to each of the two capacitor plates and is configured to receive the biological system, and an electromagnet which is arranged substantially half way between the capacitor plates and, when seen from the carrier plate, is arranged above the horizontal at least one sample container. The invention relates additionally to a European modular cultivation system, EMCS, for use in the International Space Station, ISS, comprising a centrifuge, wherein the container is received in the centrifuge.
