Hydrodynamics in a Bioreactor for Culturing Cells
A bioreactor is a cell culture vessel used to incubate cells at a high density. Good mixing is essential to cell survival and is connected to the hydrodynamics (motion of fluids) in a bioreactor. This interactive scrollable reviews the basic components and functions of a bioreactor, explains why good mixing and aeration are essential to cell survival in a bioreactor, and describes how impeller design and agitation rates determine the hydrodynamics in a bioreactor.
