Abstract

Platforms, systems, and methods for rapid fermenter sampling. According to one aspect, there is provided A rapid sampling system for obtaining samples from a fermentation system, comprising: a sample inlet fluidly connected to the fermentation system; a pump fluidly connected to the sample inlet and configured to draw a sample from the fermentation system; a first valve fluidly connected to an outlet of the pump; a second valve fluidly connected to a liquid nitrogen chamber; a multi-well filter plate, wherein an individual well of the multi-well filter plate is configured to collect and filter the sample; a motorized base operatively connected to the multi-well filter plate configured to adjust a position of the multi-well filter plate; and a control unit including one or more processors and one or more memories operatively connected to the pump, the first valve, the second valve, and the motorized base.
