Method and apparatus for cell culture.

摘要

Methods and apparatus are provided for growing both suspension type cells and anchorage-dependent cells in airlift bioreactors. A packing means (120), such as stainless steel wool, is provided in the growth chamber (10) of the bioreactor (1) to increase cell density by trapping suspension cells or acting as a solid support for anchorage-dependent cells without interfering with gentle circulation of liquid growth medium in the bioreactor.
