Single-use bioreactor providing a family of single-use bioreactors from bench-top to full-scale production. Three challenges exist for faster and greater single use bioreactor adoption 1) higher quality and lower cost disposable bags and containers, 2) more reusable and disposable sensors and probes that can provide high quality analytics including real-time cell culture level data points, and 3) a family of bioreactors from lab to production that has full scale-up of the bioprocess. Suppliers are working to improve plastic bag materials and performance and also to develop a broader range of sensors and probes that provide scientists greater insight to cell density, quality
Single-handed sailing sailing under command of a single handed sailor flying the ICS Pennant Numeral 1 from the backstay has been practiced and advocated by some sailors. As the use of Pennant Numeral 1, a white pennant with a big red dot in the middle much resembling the flag of Japan, for this purpose is not (yet) widely spread and even often confined more to certain geographical areas (Baltic...) the use of it has been questioned although the general consensus is that any signage that can increase safety at sea is to be supported.
