This includes cell biologists, bioengineers, cell culture and fermentation scientists, chemical engineers in research and development, process development, technology transfer and associated management roles. We will review how adjustments made to shaker attributes (e.g. speed, diameter, humidification), vessel attributes (e.g. size, shape, fill volume, feeding, construction material, baffling systems, closure shape and type) and vessel selection (e.g. well plates, tubes, flasks, bioreactors) must be considered together. We will discuss how changes to any of these variables impact the scalability of cultivation results. For 2025 we will be further focusing on automation of shaker-scale cultivations and will highlight innovations in automation and control of your workflows. On completion of the symposium, participants will have a thorough understanding of how to impact desired changes in mixing times, kLa and shear stress (incl. liquid velocity) across a multiple cultivation system. No advanced training necessary. Knowledge about your current cultivation practices and culture needs will be helpful during question-and-answer periods.
