Reply To: Is it possible to implement a mix of Chemostat and Turbidostat?

For some reason I can’t see the message here but I believe it says:

Hi there,

we would like to implement an hybrid experiment, in which the culture is diluted at fixed intervals (i.e. a chemostat), but with a ceiling for the OD (i.e. a turbidostat). Both functionalities exist already in the software, but currently is not possible to set both so that they work from the same pump (i.e. pump1). Would it work if I moved the RegulateOD function call into one of the custom programs? Or would the two modalities interact in unpredictable ways?

Thanks a lot,
Marco

In answer to this – yes, it sounds like a sensible solution. Turn on the pumps to do chemostat and have a logic check in a custom function which activatres RegulateOD depending on whatever conditions you require (and then turns it off when these conditions are not being violated)
