The most common features of a typical bioreactor are:
â˘Agitator system: it maintains a uniform environment through the vessel.
â˘Temperature and PH control system: Activation of acid or alkali pump to reduce the error.
â˘Sampling ports
â˘Cleaning and sterilization system
â˘Charging and emptying lines
â˘Foam-Control system
Some components of a typical bioreactor include the following:
â˘Agitator: it maintains a uniform environment through the vessel.
