Question

What are the 2 types of bioreactors?

Answer 1

Bioreactors

1. Bioreactors are vessels, designed and produced to give an effective environment for enzymes or whole cells so that they can transform biochemicals into products.
2. A bioreactor is a receptacle in which a chemical reaction is carried out while using living things or compounds generated from them that are biochemically active.
3. Simple stirred-tank bioreactors and Sparged stirred-tank bioreactors are two different types of bioreactors.
4. Sparged stirred-tank bioreactors:
   1. Systems for sparging bioreactors are created to feed cell cultures with oxygen while eliminating carbon dioxide to minimize harmful accumulation.
   2. To maximize these processes, many bioreactor characteristics and elements are essential.
   3. Mass transfer is impacted by spargers, impellers, baffling, and bioreactor design.
5. Stirred tank bioreactors:
   1. The most popular reactors used for cultivating biological agents like cells, enzymes, or antibodies are stirred tank bioreactors (STBRs).
   2. They are contractors in which internal mechanical agitation is primarily used to achieve well-mixed phases.
6. A tiny bioreactor is a microbial cell itself; additional examples include shake flasks, Petri plates, and commercial fermentors.
