Guided Wave Radar Versus Load Cells For Cell Culture Process Measurement A Magnetrol® Applications Study: Fermentation, widely used to process food, biochemicals, beer, wine and spirits, or ethanol, is also employed to produce a wide range of biopharmaceutical products. Biotechnology’s unique signature in making medicines is to utilize proteins for making drugs rather than the chemicals of traditional pharmaceuticals. Living cells—either bacteria or more complex mammalian cells —serve as micro-factories that can manufacture the appropriate proteins. Bioreactors cultivate animal cells. Fermentors cultivate microbes. Cell culture processing is a speci?c kind of fermentation that applies similar techniques for growing cells from living microbes.
