Categories Related to Bioreactors
Bioreactors are devices that utilize biological processes mediated by enzymes, cells, and microorganisms to produce and analyze substances. Unlike chemical reactions, biological reactions in bioreactors tend to be slower but are advantageous for producing fewer byproducts and maintaining catalytic activity without the need for high temperatures and pressures. This makes bioreactors cost-effective and essential for various applications, including cell culture.
Bioreactors find applications in numerous industries, such as:
Bioreactors operate by managing conditions such as temperature, pH, and pressure to facilitate reactions with immobilized enzymes and other biological elements, leading to the synthesis, decomposition, or conversion of materials to obtain desired products. Cells, microorganisms, and purified enzymes serve as primary reaction elements, with immobilization techniques enhancing separation efficiency from the products.
Variants of bioreactors include:
The aeration, mixing, and temperature control in bioreactors vary greatly depending on the state of the reaction materials and the type of organisms involved. Methods include aeration and agitation for aerobic organisms and specific nutrient and light supply for photosynthetic organisms. Microbioreactors, used for analysis, require precise control of temperature and volume to ensure accuracy.
Bioreactors excel in synthesizing optically active compounds, offering advantages like room temperature operation, normal pressure, neutral pH, selectivity, fewer byproducts, and higher yields.
Bioreactors are pivotal in regenerative medicine for cultivating large quantities of cells, such as iPS cells, using techniques like 3D floating cultures and specially designed agitation mechanisms to enhance culture efficiency with minimal stress on the cells.
