Growing Cells in Bioreactors
Description
Bioreactors are used to grow organisms in large volumes. This makes it possible to produce large amounts of a target product. In laboratory and bioengineering settings, they provide a controlled place for cell growth and product formation.
The two main reactor types are batch reactors and continu...

Transcript
Bioreactors, also known as fermenters, are cell culture systems that provide suitable growth environments. Two types of bioreactors are commonly used in cell culture, batch and continuous stirred tank bioreactors. A batch reactor is a closed vessel system containing all of the components needed for cell culture, whereas a continuous stirred tank...
