โฆ Synopsis
The feasibility of using shake flasks to culture animal cells was evaluated using various sizes of cylindrical shaped vessels as bioreactors. It was found that conditions can be optimized so that hybridoma, Chinese Hamster Ovary cells, and insect cells can be efficiently cultured in the shaking reactors to cell densities comparable to that obtained with stirred-jar bioreactors, and the system is scalable to larger volumes for the production of recombinant proteins or cell mass production in the laboratory.

A simple hydrodynamic model is introduced to describe the airlift fiber-bed bioreactor, which can enhance the volumetric productivity of anchorage-dependent animal cell cultures. By applying the model, liquid flow rates and volumetric mass transfer coefficients are predicted and are in agreement wit
The motion of microcarriers inside the horizontally rotating bioreactor was simulated in order to obtain some insight as to how particle motion can affect radial mass transfer. Fluid motion was modeled taking into account momentum transfer induced by particle motion. The force balance on the particl
An index of particle dispersion is used to quantify the degree of particle dispersion inside the horizontally rotating bioreactor. Resin particles were suspended inside a horizontally rotating cylinder. The states of particle dispersion were observed and recorded on video, from which data the index
