BUOYANT AND FLUIDIZABLE SUBSTRATE FOR BIOTECHNOLOGICAL PROCESSES

摘要

Buoyant fluidisable carrier material for biotechnological processes comprises a polymer foam with organic and/or inorganic additives. The foam comprises closed cells with a finely porous cell structure and has a structured and profiled surface. The material is in the form of hollow cylinders with a length of 3-25 mm, an outside dia. of 3-10 mm, an inside dia. of 2-9 mm and a density of 0.4-0.98 g/cc.
