    Notes: A new bioreactor, in which a series of air-lift reactors with an internal loop is incorporated into one vessel, is introduced. With this multiple air-lift loop reactor (MAL) and approximation of an aerated plug-flow fermentor is strived for. Mixing, liquid velocity, and gas holdup were measured as a function of the gas flow rate in this new internal-loop reactor geometry. As a reference, hydrodynamics were also investigated in a conventional internal-loop reactor. A model description of the hydrodynamics in the second compartment of the MAL is given. This model is based on a two-phase, drift-flux model and a friction coefficient. Frictional losses were independent of the reactor bottom geometry, and were observed to increase with the gas flow rate as a result of the presence of stationary gas bubbles in the downcomer. The hydrodynamics and mixing of the second MAL compartment were comparable with those of conventional internal-loop reactors. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Abstract The death rate of Vero cells grown on Cytodex-3 microcarriers was studied as a function of the gas flow rate in a small air-lift loop reactor. The death rate may be described by first-order death-rate kinetics. The first-order death-rate constant as calculated from the decrease in viable cells, the increase in dead cells and the increase in LDH activity is linear proportional to the gas flow rate, with a specific hypothetical killing volume in which all cells are killed of about 2·10−3 m3 liquid per m3 of air bubbles. In addition, an experiment was conducted in the same air-lift reactor with Vero cells grown inside porous Asahi microcarriers. The specific hypothetical killing volume calculated from this experiment has a value of 3·10−4 m3 liquid per m3 of air bubbles, which shows that the porous microcarriers were at least in part able to protect the cells against the detrimental hydrodynamic forces generated by the bubbles.

    Hybridomas in a bioreactor cascade: modeling and determination of growth and death kinetics (1996)
    Springer
    Cytotechnology 21 (1996), S. 263-277 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-0778
    Keywords: hybridomas ; serum-free medium ; monoclonal antibodies ; reactor series ; kinetics ; modeling

    Notes: Abstract Hybridomas were cultured under steady-state conditions in a series of two continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTRs), using a serum-free medium. The substrate not completely converted in the first CSTR, was transported with the cells to the second one and very low growth rates, high death rates, and lysis of viable cells were observed in this second CSTR. These conditions are hardly accessible in a single vessel, because such experiments would be extremely time-consuming and unstable due to a low viability. In contrast to what is often observed in literature, kinetic parameters could thus be derived without the neccessity for extrapolation to lower growth rates. Good agreement with literature averages for other hybridomas was found. Furthermore, showing that the reactor series is a valuable research tool for kinetic studies under extreme conditions, the possibility to observe cell death under stable and defined steady-state conditions offers interesting opportunities to investigate apoptosis and necrosis. Additionally, a model was developed that describes hybridoma growth and monoclonal antibody production in the bioreactor cascade on the basis of glutamine metabolism. Good agreement between the model and the experiments was found.
