Abstract
Micro-bioreactors appear frequently in today’s biotechnology industry as screening and process development tools for cell culture applications. The micro-bioreactor’s small volume allows for a high throughput, and when compared to other small-scale systems, such as microtiter plates, its measurement and control capabilities offer a much better insight into the bioprocess. Applikon’s micro-Matrix is one of the micro-bioreactors that are commercially available today. The micro-Matrix system consists of shaken disposable 24 deep square well plates in which each well is controlled individually for pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and temperature. Additionally, a feeding module supports automated additions of liquid to each well. This chapter describes how the micro-Matrix can be used for fed-batch cultivations of Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells.
