Bioreactors database
Nowadays, much attention is paid to the development of biotechnological processes, an important element is the bioreactor. Taking into account the development of modern industry, the number and variety of produced bioreactors is constantly increasing. In order to systematize industrial bioreactors data using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, the “Bioreac-tors” database was created. It systematizes the devices themselves as well as their basic technical and operational characteris-tics. For easy operation of the developed software it is necessary to provide the most comfortable user interaction with the program. Thus, using the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 software package, an application was created. It represents a database graphical interface. The application allows you to obtain information about the bioreactors, manufacturers, tools, automation and other data in tables with the option to sort information. The tables in the database were developed for entering infor-mation about new models, companies and measuring instruments, and for correcting and updating existing information. A part of the software windows are fitted out with graphical regions to visualize the design of a biotechnological apparatus. As the result, the software product includes an interface adapted for users without knowledge of SQL. A software module was created for automatic data enrichment of the software product. It allows automatically analyze, collect and classify infor-mation from the web sites of manufacturers of bioreactors to fill and update existing databases. The approach, which was used in the module, is based on the DOM tree analysis, as well as on the combination of such methods as HtmlAgilityPack and Data Extracting SDK.
