MIT Engineers Solve Sticky-cell Problem In Bioreactors And Other Industries
Introduction: A Simple Problem, Big Impact Bioreactors and related processes across industries—from algae farming in climate-friendly carbon capture efforts to manufacturing biologic drugs—face a stubborn obstacle: cells sticking to surfaces. This adhesion reduces light exposure in photobioreactors, clogs harvesting lines, and forces costly downtime for cleaning and sanitation. MIT researchers have now introduced a high-throughput,…
