Cleaning an incubator shaker sounds trivialbutis critical for successful cultivation. The good news is that doing the right thing is simple, effectiveand can easily be integrated into theroutinemanagement of a biosciences laboratory.
Mammalian cell culture bioprocesses are increasingly gaining importance in the biopharmaceutical industry. Due to the high demand of product quality, the incubated shaker as a production unit can become a limiting factor after a certain point. Moreover, since real-time monitoring and control is not possible in a shaker, eventual process transfer and scaling-up are indispensable measures.
The shake flask is the standard in many laboratories for cultivation of cells and microorganisms. Thereby achieving high biomass concentrations remains a constant challenge.
