TLDR
In this paper, a bioreactor for anchorage or non-anchorage dependent cells or for immobilized enzymes that is capable of achieving high cell densities or concentrations of reaction products is disclosed.Abstract:
A bioreactor for anchorage or nonanchorage dependent cells or for immobilized enzymes that is capable of achieving high cell densities or concentrations of reaction products is disclosed. The bioreactor is capable of being easily scaled up. The bioreactor utilizes horizontal or radial flow of the culture or growth medium across a packed bed of microcarriers with attached cells or enzymes. The radial flow utilized by the chamber minimizes the non-optimal culture perfusion problems and maximizes the uniformity of medium delivery and cell and/or enzyme viability. The cell culture chamber possess the capability for the production of many industrially important and useful products, particularly in the medical, pharmaceutical, food, agricultural, environmental and purification industries. In the medical and pharmaceutical industries, the large scale production of therapeutically important substances such as anti-tumor factors, hormones, viral antigens, enzymes, interferons and other valuable biomolecules, is greatly facilitated.read more

Wastewater treatment system including multiple stages of alternate aerobic-anerobic bioreactors in series
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a method for the treatment of industrial or municipal wastewater including multiple series of alternating aerobic-anaerobic bioreactors in series, each of such pairs includes fill supporting fixed film microorganisms.
Patent
Capillary cell culture device
TL;DR: In this paper, the growth of cells within a device containing a bundle of semi-permeable, tubular capillaries is disclosed, and the bundle of capillary is wrapped in an envelope of porous sheet material, thus creating an extra-envelope space into which the cells can migrate for periodic removal without disturbing the main culture within the capllaries.
Patent
Process for the in-vitro biosynthesis of hormones, especially insulin
TL;DR: In this article, a process for the in-vitro biosynthesis of hormones, especially of insulin, was described by in vitro conservation of cells from organs and tissues of animal or human origin under suitable cell growth and cell conservation conditions and isolation of the substance formed in a known manner from the culture medium or by processing of the cells.
