Fully automated workflow to harvest cell-free cultivation samples from microtiter plate cultivations on the MPP. A: Steps of the automated harvest operation to generate a variable number (1 - 48) of cell-free supernatants in parallel from BioLector cultivations. B: Triggered process to sample supernatants after turn to stationary phase to compare different producer strains considering final product titers. C: Time-dependent harvest profile of identically inoculated parallel cultivations to assess metabolite formation or uptake kinetics.
