Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for automated control of cell growth rates where cell growth is measured in situ and the devices can be used as a stand-alone device or as a module in an automated environment, e.g., as one module in a multi-station or multi-module cell processing environment. The cell growth device comprises a temperature-controlled vial, a motor assembly to spin the vial, a spectrophotometer for measuring, e.g., OD of the cells in the vial, and a processor to accept input from a user and control the growth rate of the cells.
