Pre-Formed Carriers for Cell Immobilisation

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Focus on Biotechnology ((FOBI,volume 8A))

Abstract

Cell immobilisation in pre-formed carriers involves passive/natural immobilisation usually in situ in the bioreactors or in the culture environment. Numerous inorganic and organic materials have been used as pre-formed carriers: reticulated polyurethane and polyvinyl formal foam, other polymers, plastics, stainless steel, ceramic, glass, synthetic (ion exchange) resins, activated charcoal, aluminium oxide, diatomaceous earth, sand, cellulose, lignocellulose, cellulose acetate, and others. In this chapter however, only polyurethane foam, stainless steel knitted mesh, ceramic, glass and cellulose will be considered.
