Shake flask is used for growing microbes and mixing the desired materials on a small scale in the laboratory. However, the large-scale production of a desired biotechnological product requires large stirred tank bioreactors.
Besides better aeration and mixing properties, bioreactors have the following advantages:
- It has an oxygen delivery system.
- It has a foam control, temperature, and pH control system.
- Small volumes of culture can be withdrawn periodically.
