are the main characteristics of cell culturing in a Z®RP BIOREACTOR compared to stirred bioreactors and other systems?
Z®RP Bioreactor come with a variable rotating bed and work in perfusion mode where the cell medium pours over the cells on a continuous basis by virtue of the rotation. Cells grow attached to the bed in a three-dimensional fashion while embedded in their own extra cellular matrix. Gentle moving of attached cells alternately through medium and overlay guarantees excellent supply with nutrients and oxygen (or other media) without being subjected to shear stress.
