Laser assisted cell lysis with continuous treatment setup

In this project, a process improvement will be developed for splitting open cultured algal cells to release nutritional oils contained within. A high-energy pulsed laser will be used to deliver short but intense light bursts to cause the lysis of algal cells. This technology will be applied at the production scale at Mara Renewables in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
