Abstract

This chapter gives insight into commercially available automated cultivation systems for cell culture technologies as well as the theoretical background of process automation and modeling. Exemplary bioreactor systems with sensors, actors, and process principles are described, ranging from the classical stirred tank reactor to more advanced perfused systems. Further, this chapter gives an introduction to principles of process modeling and simulation as well as a theoretical background in process automation and control.
