Understanding the Impact of Foam on Bioprocess Yield Foam is often an overlooked challenge in bioreactor operations. However, it can significantly impact both process efficiency and final product quality. Whether in microbial fermentation, mammalian cell culture, or large-scale production of biologics, uncontrolled foam formation introduces risks to yield, sterility, and downstream recovery. For bioprocess engineers, understanding and managing foam is critical. The foam impac

Fermenter vs. Bioreactor: Understanding the Difference In modern biotechnology, the terms fermenter and bioreactor are often used interchangeably, and for good reason. Both are engineered vessels designed to provide controlled environments for the growth of microorganisms or cells. However, while they share similarities, subtle yet crucial differences exist between the two. Understanding these differences is essential for selecting the right system for your bioprocess — wheth
