The solution for biomass measurement in shake flasks

CGQ - Cell Growth Quantifier

The Cell Growth Quantifier (CGQ) is a laboratory device for online monitoring of biomass in shake flasks without taking the flasks out of the incubation shaker. The CGQ determines the biomass concentration automatically and non-invasively by a patented optical measurement. Thus, profound microbial growth kinetics of highest precision can be generated.

CGQ - Cell Growth Quantifier
Online monitoring of biomass in shake flasks

Make sense of your bioprocess

Creating a seamless record of biomass concentration allows you to detect bioprocess changes in real time. This lets you identify limitations, inhibiting factors, and contamination a t an early stage. Reproducibility is increased due to a lower error rate when compared with manual biomass measurement.

Parallel applications

Monitor up to 64 shake flasks in parallel one one PC

Real-time measurement

Detailed process monitoring at any given time for a high data density

Can be used for a diverse range of scientific applications

Growth-curve-guided induction of protein expression, media development / optimisation, screening / strain comparisons, detection of limitations and contaminations, analysis of growth kinetics, optimisation of culture conditions, online monitoring of thermophile and phototrophic organisms

Features

Sensor plate	The sensor plate is positioned under the shake flask and measures the biomass non-invasively. It is available for 5 flask sizes.
Cover	Each shake flask can be darkened with a cover to ensure measurements of highest precision and sensitivity.
Base station	The base station designed for 8 or 16 shake flasks bundles the data from all monitored flasks and sends it to the cgQuant software.
CGQuant Software	The cgQuant Software analyses and visualises the biomass signal from all monitored shake flasks.
Compatibility	With the INFORS HT shakers and standard laboratory equipment of all manufacturers. Fits ideally on all glass and single-use flasks (with and without baffles), spring clamps and sticky plates («Sticky Stuff»).

eve – The Bioprocess Platform Software

One single solution to unify all your equipment and data

The CGQ has enabled us to obtain accurate information on the growth kinetics of hyperthermophilic archaea and has solved the problem of manually generating data for prolonged periods of time and of dealing with evaporation effects due to the high temperature.
