3D‐printed microbioreactors for microbial cultivation. (A‐i) 3D‐printed microbioreactor consisting of (1) inlet (2) outlet (3) gas outlet and (4) the main reactor chamber with biosensor integration port. (A‐ii) In the experimental setup, a (1) OD sensor is clipped onto the (2) reactor chamber, and the (3) glucose biosensor is integrated. (A‐iii) Sterile integration of the glucose biosensors guaranteed by separating the microbioreactor and the biosensing unit with a diffusion limiting membrane. Adapted with permission from [48].
