The CGQ (cell growth quantifier) as an automated system for highly parallelisable and non-invasive real-time monitoring of biomass concentration in shake flasks. a CGQ sensing architecture with a sensor plate measuring through the shake flask bottom. b Biomass monitoring by backscattered light detection. c Simplified scheme of continuous high-speed scattering measurements of the CGQ. The liquid movement above light source and sensor results in a periodic raw signal as the basis for robust biomass monitoring. d The CGQ, modularly built up of the sensor plates under each flask, the black light shielding cover, the base station and the CGQuant software
