  • Title: Cell aggregation and sedimentation.
    Author: Davis RH.
    Journal: Bioprocess Technol; 1995; 20():135-85. PubMed ID: 7765634.
    Abstract:
    The aggregation of cells into clumps or flocs has been exploited for decades in such applications as biological wastewater treatment, beer brewing, antibiotic fermentation, and enhanced sedimentation to aid in cell recovery or retention. More recent research has included the use of cell aggregation and sedimentation to selectively separate subpopulations of cells. Potential biotechnological applications include overcoming contamination, maintaining plasmid-bearing cells in continuous fermentors, and selectively removing nonviable hybridoma cells from perfusion cultures.
