Experiment 1 (Day 1)

Familiarization with the Bioreactor and its Operation

Objectives:

• To identify the various parts and the components of the microbial and mammalian fermenters.
• To understand the purpose of the different parts of the bioreactor.
• To understand the basic operation procedures of a bioreactor.

During the very first practical, were familiarised with the bioreactor and introduced its different parts and functions by Ms Ang. The table and labelled diagram below summarises what we have learnt in this practical.
