Stirred-tank bioreactors are gaining more and more importance in the industrial production of pharmaceutical products, biofuels and food. When compared with 2D-cultivation systems, bioreactors are easy to handle, and multiple bioreactors can be controlled in parallel without a considerable increase of workload. In stirred-tank bioreactors cells can be cultivated as free cells in solution, cell aggregates or on microcarriers in batch, fed-batch or continuous cultivation modes.
