CONTROL OF CELL GROWTH THROUGH A TEMPERATURE FEEDBACK LOOP

Abstract:

The present invention relates to the use of online biomass capacitance monitoring in cultures as a way to control the growth of cells through the use of a temperature control loop. In certain embodiments, a biomass capacitance probe is used to measure the cell density, and a predetermined growth curve is used to adjust the temperature in the culture.
