New to stem cell bioprocessing? Find your answers below.
What are bioreactors?
The success of stem cell bioprocessing relies on robust and reproducible culture conditions and processes. Bioreactors are vessels used to culture a broad range of cell types in precisely controlled conditions to provide optimal productivity, efficiency, and product quality. Bioreactors come in a range of sizes from milliliters to hundreds of liters. They can either be single-use or made of glass or stainless steel.

What are the advantages of bioreactors over cell culture flasks?
- Better reproducibility: In bioreactors you can monitor critical culture parameters including pH , Dissolved Oxygen (DO) , temperature and nutrient feeding and automatically adjust them by bioprocess monitoring and control software. Like this, culture conditions and as a result culture outcome can be better reproduced.
- Simpler scale-up: Many stem cell applications in cell therapy development, drug discovery, and lab-grown meat require high cell numbers. When using a bioreactor one can increase the size of the culture vessel to many liters and even more, unlike cell culture flasks where the number of vessels must be increased after a certain point. Using one big vessel instead of many small ones saves space and manual labor, thus simplifying the process of increasing the number of cultured cells.

How can I cultivate adherent stem cells in bioreactors?
The majority of stem cells are adherent cells and require a support matrix to grow. In 2D cultures, this means growing stem cells in dishes or flasks, however, these systems are often challenging to scale-up. Fortunately, there are many available options to grow adherent cells in bioreactors including:
![Schematic drawing: Cultivation of suspension cells in stirred-tank bioreactors and adherent cells grown on growth matrix in stirred-tank bioreactor.](/media/MAIN/01-Lab-Academy/bioprocessing/graphics/graphic_suspension-microcarrier_730px-x-411px_540-2.jpg)
- Cell-only aggregates: This technique involves allowing cells to adhere to one another and form an aggregate. This technique is often used for the cultivation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in bioreactors.
- Microcarriers: Microcarriers are spherical beads, which are added to the culture medium and serve as a surface for adherent cells such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to attach and grow. Microcarriers are made of a variety of materials. They can have specific coatings to enhance cell attachment, yield and viability.
- Fibra-Cel® Disks: Disks made of polyester and polypropylene provide a growth support for adherent cells in both packed-bed bioreactors and in suspension. Due to their three-dimensionality and fibrous material, Fibra-Cel Disks allow for easy cell attachment, a high surface-to-volume-ratio, and provide a low-shear environment. This often results in increased total biomass compared to many microcarriers.
