Optimization of the angle for scattered light measurements in 3D-printed cultivation vessels.
Article in Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Monitoring key parameters during the cultivation of microorganisms-including biomass concentration-is often a crucial prerequisite for attaining reproducible results in the field of biotechnology. In order to overcome the drawbacks associated with conventional methods for assessing biomass concentration (such as cell dry weight or optical density measurements), several devices to facilitate continuous online monitoring have been developed. Yet despite the success of innovative solutions (such as acceleration sensors) in addressing the challenging dynamical behavior of liquids within shaken systems, the performance of these sensors can still be affected by reflections at the liquid-air interface or at the top of the cultivation vessels. In our previous work, a 3D-printed cultivation vessel equipped with modified optical waveguide paths was utilized in an effort to overcome this challenge, allowing for the measurement of scattered light in a lateral direction. In this work, we developed an optical adapter that allows for the rapid assessment of the optimal measurement angle of excitation and detection within these 3D-printed cultivation vessels. The findings of the present study indicate that an angle of 110° yields higher signal intensities and enhanced sensitivity in comparison to larger angles, and this finding was additionally confirmed for a set of biotechnologically relevant microorganisms. While these results suggest that the angle of 110° should be integrated into the cultivation vessels in the future, the optical adapter also holds the potential to further investigate vessels with different sizes or geometries.
