Figure 3. Growth of CHOZMD cell cultures beyond 24 hrs in spinner flasks with the four microcarriers, expressed in two ways: (a) number of anchored cells per mL of culture medium and (b) number of anchored cells per particle (microcarrier). Based on manufacturer information, the estimated number of particles per gram of each microcarrier was: 4.3 x 106 particles/g for Cytodex 1, 8.0 x 105 particles/g for Cultispher S, 8.6 x 103 particles/g for Immobasil FS and 3.9 x 105 particles/g for Pronectin F. Notice that the microcarriers are of different sizes as described in Table 1.
