A fully functional bioreactor requires perfect integration of several components to ensure that cultures will finish at the desired productivity. These components include

  • a jacketed stainless steel vessel
  • temperature control
  • agitation
  • sparge gas control
  • headsweep gas control
  • pH and dissolved oxygen control
  • a sampling mechanism
  • weight indication and control
  • cleaning hardware
  • sterilization hardware
  • piping and tubing to deliver all
  • services, add media, pH control solutions, and gases
  • feed and addition pumps, and a supervisory control and a dataacquisition system.

Once those components are specified, the facility layout needs to be designed to accommodate the reactor upon delivery, accounting for utility availability, footprint allowance, power, and accessory hardware. Is all of that possible using a traditional, fixed stainless steel bioreactor?
