Development of a method for reliable power input measurements in conventional and single‐use stirred bioreactors at laboratory scale
Power input is an important engineering and scale-up/down criterion in stirred bioreactors. However, reliably measuring power input in laboratory-scale systems is still challenging. Even though torque measurements have proven to be suitable in pilot scale systems, sensor accuracy, resolution, and errors from relatively high levels of friction inside bearings can become limiting factors at small...
متن کاملControl of Dissolved Oxygen in Stirred Bioreactors
This report discusses control of dissolved oxygen in a bioreactor where the oxygen supply is manipulated using the stirrer speed. In batch and fed-batch cultivations the operating conditions change significantly which may cause tuning problems. Analysis using a linearized process model shows that the process dynamics is mainly affected by changes in the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient KL...
متن کاملShear rate in stirred tank and bubble column bioreactors
Stirred tanks and bubble columns are widely used as mixing essels and bioreactors. Average spatial fluid velocity gradients t the level of the eddies or the prevailing shear rate, is an imporant variable in bioreactors but is not easy to characterize. A nowledge of shear rate is essential for at least two main reasons: 1) shear rate influences the average apparent viscosity of nonewtonian fluid...
متن کاملNew milliliter-scale stirred tank bioreactors for the cultivation of mycelium forming microorganisms.
A novel milliliter-scale stirred tank bioreactor was developed for the cultivation of mycelium forming microorganisms on a 10 milliliter-scale. A newly designed one-sided paddle impeller is driven magnetically and rotates freely on an axis in an unbaffled reaction vessel made of polystyrene. A rotating lamella is formed which spreads out along the reactor wall. Thus an enhanced surface-to-volum...
متن کاملComparisons of optically monitored small-scale stirred tank vessels to optically controlled disposable bag bioreactors
BACKGROUND Upstream bioprocesses are extremely complex since living organisms are used to generate active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Cells in culture behave uniquely in response to their environment, thus culture conditions must be precisely defined and controlled in order for productivity and product quality to be reproducible. Thus, development culturing platforms are needed where man...
