Abstract
An automated and robotized platform includes a battery of miniature reactors to contain cell cultures. The platform includes an external sensor to measure an optical property of each cell culture contained in each miniature reactor. The platform also includes a mobile sensor-holder to receive the external sensor. The sensor-holder includes a sensor driving element to move the external sensor from one miniature reactor to another and to measure in real time the at least one optical property. The platform further includes a controlling and processing element to receive real time measurements of the optical property from the external sensor and to provide real time control of a movement of the mobile sensor-holder.
