WHAT IS BIOREACTOR ?

A bioreactor is a device or system used to support and control the growth and activity of living cells or organisms in a controlled environment. It is commonly used in industrial biotechnology and pharmaceuticals to produce various products, such as enzymes, vaccines, and biofuels. Bioreactors come in different sizes and designs and can be operated in batch, fed- batch, and continuous modes. They have various components such as a vessel, impeller, sensors, probes, and controllers that enable control of different parameters such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and nutrients. The primary aim of bioreactors is to optimize the biological system's growth and activity to maximize productivity, minimize costs, and ensure product quality and safety.
