Is it possible to incubate larger bioreactors than shake flasks on an orbital shaker?
In the literature you can find several examples for orbital shaking of volumes up to 1500 L, mostly in the field of mammalian and plant cell culture: Novel Orbital Shake Bioreactors for Transient Production of CHO Derived IgGs Stettler M, Zhang X, Hacker DL, De Jesus M, Wurm FM Biotechnol.
