Process Control in Single-Use Bioreactors

The development of single-use bioreactor technologies is focused on bringing new designs onto the market for effective oxygen transfer and cultivation of not only cell culture processes, but also microbial cultures. The advantages of disposable technologies are: ease of use, prevention of cross-contamination, labor and capital investment savings, reduced qualification and validation, and increased flexibility. The costs of disposables are lower compared with conventional stainless-steel bioreactors because the capital investment is lower. Therefore, the need is reduced for qualification and…
