A lab bench, photographed at dusk. In the middle the bioreactor: a tall black PC-tower case standing on its feet with its side panel off. Inside, on black decks: at the bottom, in a drip tray, the culture vessel with a navy cap and pale yellow medium and a clear protectant bottle; above them the navy pump box, two clear peristaltic pumps and, on a step at the left, the black in-line photometer with an amber LED at its head; at the right an upright membrane column of white fibres between two valves, and along the top a row of four pressure sensors. Clear tubes of yellow culture run between them, and thin green LED strips glow along the case's edge. On the left of the bench, the LPA: a black printed housing with 24 capped test tubes standing in it. On the right, a clear tub of medium with the hydroponics floating plate in it.

Rendered from the team’s CAD, the bioreactor as proposed. Liquids, flow, tub and room are illustrative.
