Study Notes
Biochemical Processes
- The heart of biochemical processes involving enzymes, microbial systems, mammalian cells, or plant cells is the bioreactor.
- Bioreactors provide a controlled environment for the growth of organisms and the synthesis of products.
Goal of an Effective Bioreactor
- The primary goal of an effective bioreactor is to optimize the production of desired biological products, such as proteins or metabolites, while ensuring the health and viability of the cells or organisms within.
Key Performance Measures
- Key performance measures for bioreactors typically include parameters such as yield, productivity, and scalability.
- Not every factor is critical, indicating that some may not be essential performance measures—specific non-key factors are not defined in the provided context.
Macro-Level Bioreactor Design
- The macro-level of bioreactor design encompasses the overall configuration, including the layout of components, the scale of operation, and the integration of necessary systems for monitoring and control.
Macrokinetic System in Bioreactor Design
- The macrokinetic system involves the large-scale dynamics of reactants and products, including mass transfer rates, reaction rates, and mixing efficiencies that impact the overall performance of the bioreactor.
