Summary

The oxygenation capabilities of a new generation three phase - two region 1200 l bioreactor employed for the cultivation of anchorage dependent animal cells were investigated experimentally. A mathematical model has also been developed that explains qualitatively the observed oxygenation characteristics. This type of bioreactor, that uses microcarrier support particles, has two distinct mesh-separated regions so that the air bubbles in the oxygenation region do not come into contact with the microcarriers in the cell (bubble-free) region. Implications on achievable maximum cell densities are also discussed.
