Bioprocesses and downstream processing

Shake flasks, cell culture dishes, and T-flasks are the first vessels that come to mind when we think about cultivation systems for growing eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells in the lab. Bioreactors and fermenters are another alternative to consider if we need larger quantities of cells, increased efficiency of cultivation, or enhanced reproducibility. In this white paper, we explain the key characteristics of stirred-tank bioreactors and which organisms are typically grown in them. Using specific examples, we demonstrate how bioreactors and fermenters can help to resolve cultivation bottlenecks.
