An apparatus is used for growing plants or tissues under aseptic conditions. The apparatus includes a lid and a base compartment. A linking mechanism is provided for connecting the lid and the base compartment. The linking mechanism is provided with a locking mechanism, which is movable from a locked position to an un-locked position and vice-versa. In the locked position, the locking mechanism holds the lid in an abutting closed relation with respect to the base compartment. In the un-locked position, the linking mechanism is provided with means for automatically lifting the lid to an elevated-suspended position with respect to the base compartment thereby providing an access route to reach the base compartment and perform desired operations.

Bioreactor vessel for large scale growing of plants under aseptic condition

A compact, portable, lightweight, low power consuming, convenient, versatile and sterile laminar airflow device, useful in obtaining a workspace substantially devoid of airborne particulate contaminants, said device having a body (C) divided into an upper and lower chambers; the upper chamber housing one or more pre-filtration members (B), a motor (T) driving a fan (S), and one or more filters (U) located below the motor; and the lower chamber provided with a slideable front panel (M), a removable platform (X) located at the lower portion of the chamber and a perforated plane (N) placed on the removable platform.
