Dinoflagellate Bioluminescent Shear Reactor
LAB SYSTEM: PYROCYSTIS FUSIFORMIS // SHEAR STRESS CALIBRATION CHAMBER
🦠
BIOLUMINESCENT STIMULATION CHAMBER
Marine dinoflagellates emit a brilliant blue-green bioluminescent flash when subjected to mechanical shear stress. In this simulation, you calibrate a petri-dish culture chamber to achieve the optimal shear range for sustainable bioluminescence.
OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES:
1. Stir the Chamber: Click and drag inside the petri dish or use the keyboard [ARROW KEYS] to steer the virtual stirrer. Faster stirring generates higher shear.
2. Adjust Auto-Stirrer: Press keys [1-9] to set the hotplate magnetic stirrer RPM, or use the panel controls.
3. Calibrate Density: Toggle between culture media to change viscosity. Higher viscosity generates higher shear stress for the same stirrer speed.
4. Reactor Calibration: Maintain the shear rate within the optimal zone (1.5 - 3.0 Pa) to reach 100% calibration coherence. Beware: shear rates above 3.5 Pa damage algae health!
