K-ROCHE - Fermentation development of mammalian cells

In the proposed work mass transfer coefficients will be analyzed as a function of media composition and media rheology. The focus of this project will be the exact prediction of mass transfer coefficients from bubbles in Non -Newtonian fermentation media at varying System properties (salt concentration, protein concentration, etc.). Part of the project includes the experimental investigation of the dependence of the fluid rheology and diffusivities an the media composition.
