Immobilized cell composite and process using said composite.

摘要

An immobilized cell culture composite comprises: (a) a high surface area monolithic support having a multiplicity of mutually parallel channels passing therethrough, the channels having walls formed of a medium-insoluble, non-toxic, composition and the support having at least 20 channels per square inch (3.10 channels per square centimetre) of cross-sectional area; and (b) a population of plant or animal tissue cells anchored to the porous channel walls. This composite is employed in a process and an apparatus for cell culture.
