What is the purpose of a bioreactor?
A bioreactor provides a controlled environment for the growth of bioengineered cells, enhancing yield and productivity.
How do you calibrate the pH probe?
The pH probe is calibrated using two reference buffers to ensure accurate readings during fermentation.
What are the key parameters to monitor in a bioreactor?
Key parameters include temperature, pH, oxygen saturation, and agitation speed.
Why is sterility important in bioreactor operation?
Maintaining sterility prevents contamination, ensuring the integrity and productivity of the culture.
What is the role of the oxygen probe?
The oxygen probe measures the dissolved oxygen levels, which are critical for aerobic fermentation processes.
How is the inoculation performed?
Inoculation is performed by sterilizing the port and introducing the bacterial culture using a syringe.
