Permissible Values

Value Meaning Description Related Mappings Advantage Duration
BATCH Single closed reaction with all components mixed at the start; simplest format but limited by substrate depletion and byproduct accumulation short (hours)
CONTINUOUS_EXCHANGE Continuous-exchange cell-free (CECF) format with a semipermeable membrane separating a reaction chamber from a feeding chamber, allowing diffusion of substrates in and byproducts out OBI:0600052 extended (up to ~24 h)
CONTINUOUS_FLOW Continuous-flow cell-free (CFCF) format in which fresh substrates are continuously pumped through the reaction while product is collected extended
BILAYER Bilayer format where a feeding solution is layered over the reaction mixture without a membrane, prolonging reaction by passive diffusion
LYOPHILIZED Freeze-dried (lyophilized) cell-free reaction that is shelf-stable and activated by rehydration; basis of freeze-dried cell-free (FD-CF) diagnostics and portable biomanufacturing NCIT:C28150 cold-chain-free storage and distribution
