Introduction to Bioprocessing

Bioprocess Basics & Hands-on

Cultivation in bioreactors enables efficient and reproducible production of cells, microorganisms and the products they express. Applications and used cell lines and strains are diverse and therefore the optimal bioreactor design and process setup differs. On this page, we provide background information, examples, and tips and tricks, to support you in setting up your bioprocess.

Resolving cultivation bottlenecks

For many applications, the cultivation of bacteria or yeast in shake flasks and cell culture in dishes or T-flask is well suited. However, the use bioreactors and fermentors improve the results and save work, time, and lab-space of scientists, who
  • need large amounts of cells, microbes or of the products they express
  • would like to increase the reproducibility of growth, product formation or product quality
  • would like to systematically compare different growth conditions
  • would like to increase the cultivation efficiency

Bioprocess fundamentals

What are bioreactors and fermenters? Why can they help saving work, time, and lab-space and improving results? How does cultivation of cells and microbes in bioreactors differs from growth in incubators and shakers?

Moving from Shakers to Bioreactors

Shake flasks, cell culture dishes, and T-flask first come to mind, when thinking about cultivation systems for growing eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells in the lab. Bioreactors and fermenters are an alternative to consider, if large amounts of cells are needed, the efficiency of the cultivation or its reproducibility need to be enhanced.

Webinars

Optimize Your Bioprocess

In this webinar, our colleagues Ines Hartmann and David Solbach will depict the typical applications of shakers and bioreactors in an upscaling bioprocess. They will introduce to you the basic components of a bioreactor and the various process parameters that can be controlled. Finally, they will go through different process strategies to further optimize a process.

From Shaker to Fermenter

In this webinar, our colleague Jörg Schwinde shows the differences between the cultivation of cells in shakers and bioreactors. We will focus on the basic components of a bioreactor and the various process parameters that can be controlled. Finally, we will focus on different process strategies to further optimize a process and increase.

Cells in Motion

In this webinar, our colleagues Ines Hartmann and Ankita Desai look at the biophysical background of both cultivation techniques. They show how to optimize your process in shake flasks and bioreactors via proper choice of vessel type, vessel material, instrument configuration, bioprocess feeding strategies and parameter settings.

Process parameter setpoints

You would like to get started culturing your favorite cell line or microorganism in a bioreactor and wonder which setpoints to choose? Information from literature can serve as starting point you can build on.
