Device for the study of biological growth process

摘要

The utility model relates to modern instruments for study of biofilm intended for microscopic (visual) study the life cycle of biofilms formed by different communities of microorganisms on various materials and in various environments in conditions of controlled temperature impact, illumination, the speed of movement of the liquid medium, the composition of the gas phase.; An apparatus for investigating biofouling process comprising a housing flow of biological cells with the recess, wherein the housing formed horizontal channels screwed fittings, at the top of the housing cover is attached with an opening corresponding to the shape of the recess, wherein the set cover glass between the housing and the cover, wherein device sealed with an elastic seal, with a cover glass between the housing and the recess bottom is formed by a camera, which is placed on the bottom plate of the test mat iala located in the liquid flow or stationary medium, wherein the apparatus is mounted between two containers connected by flexible tubes with nozzles. Characterized in that the body and the lid are made of transparent polymeric material. Characterized in that the clearance between the cover glass plate and for applying the test material does not exceed 0.7 mm. Characterized in that the channels for supplying and removing the liquid medium provided with locking mechanisms. Characterized in that for visual evaluation process does not require cell analysis and extraction of the material of the plate, the cover glass.
