Efficient and reliable scale-up is one of the major hurdles in modern biotechnology. Engineering parameters such as impeller tip speed, oxygen transfer rate, impeller power number (Np) and the impeller power consumption per volume (P/V) are just a few of the parameters that need to be considered to ensure a successful tech transfer from bench to pilot and production scale. The BioFlo® 720 bioreactor control system was designed to save time and to mitigate risks.
