Publication number: 20170037362Abstract: The present invention provides a method for improving the preparation and use of growth media by the uses of specific pellet formulations, which especially are tablets of different sizes, which contain the growth medium or parts thereof and are sterilized with the standard methods of pharmaceutical technology. Specifically these pellet formulations are applied to control a cell culture in a way that the adaptation phase is shorter or that the growth is controlled by a release of certain components at a certain time and in a certain concentration during the process, and nutrients (e.g., nitrogen) can be packed into the cultivation vessel in amounts sufficient for high cell densities without the risk of intoxication of the organism.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2016Publication date: February 9, 2017Inventors: Peter NEUBAUER, Antti VASALA, Russell GOLSON
