🎙️ Microfluidics for large scale cell harvesting?
Traditionally, centrifugation, whether continuous or batch, has been the go-to solution. But, as we aim for higher volumes, striking a balance between efficiency, speed, and cell integrity becomes a significant challenge 🔄. This is where innovative approaches like microfluidics might come into play.
🍖Class-specific growth factors for cultured seafood?
In an industry where cost reduction and yield maximization are critical for commercial viability 💰📈, the need for species- or class-specific growth factors will likely become evident. This need is particularly acute in the context of crustacean cell culture, which generally shows poor responsiveness to mammalian serum. 🦐
🚀My Learnings on the Importance of Cryopreservation in Biomanufacturing
When it comes to the freezing and thawing of cells, the challenges of viability, the toxicity of freezing agents, and scaling up cryopreservation can significantly influence the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) in biomanufacturing.
