Development of a novel bioreactor and systems for suspension cell culture in biopharmaceutical production by Sharma, Rajesh

“…However, these bioreactors exert high shear forces to cells due to the impeller speed, bubble disruption, and foam formation. In addition, at a large scale, improper mass transfer impairs the performance of cell lines and achieving high cell densities and prolonged viability with correct glycosylation of a secreted proteins is still a challenge during scale-up. …”
