This device is particularly promising for a few reasons. Through the negative pressure a small pore size filter is able to be seeded with micro-organisms that will grow on its surface, as depicted in Figure 11. Once these micro-organisms are trapped and growth medium is supplied as inflow, they will start to divide and form a tight layer on the sieve. | This device is particularly promising for a few reasons.

| - | Furthermore by adjusting the flow rate or filter pore size and porosity the cell layer can be varied of thickness. This could be necessary for reaching the correct balance between AHL production and removal. Another reason why this device is promising is because of its low price. The company Aqua Marijn, which is partly located at the departed of organic chemistry can produce custom versions of the chamber and supply the micro filter for around 50 euros per device. Preliminary discussions with representatives have proven to be promising. | + | Furthermore by adjusting the flow rate or filter pore size and porosity the cell layer can be varied of thickness.
