RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Operational Aspects of Bioreactor Contamination Control JF PDA Journal of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology JO PDA J Pharm Sci Technol FD Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) SP 113 OP 117 VO 44 IS 3 A1 Perkowski, Casimir A. YR 1990 UL http://journal.pda.org/content/44/3/113.abstract AB The contamination-free operation of a bioreactor demands constant attention to details. Assuming a well-designed and validated system exists, contamination control requires a skilled operating staff clear and concise standard operating procedures, ongoing operations review and training, thorough cleaning of equipment, and an effective preventative maintenance program. This paper highlights basic operational aspects of contaminant-free bioreactor operation from inoculum development to bioreactor harvesting.
