Media optimization project details:

?

How many bioreactors are running in parallel during a single run? For example, there are 12 or 24 bioreactors that can be operated in parallel in a single run on Ambr 250 High Throughput system

?

How many runs are in a typical media optimization project?

?

Time to complete one experiment including: setup of bioreactors, inoculation, cell cultivation, shutdown, data analysis, and planning of the next experiment

?

How many media samples are taken from each bioreactor during each run? Ex. Daily sampling during 14 day culture = 14 samples

?

How many media samples would be taken from each bioreactor during each run if time/cost was not a factor?

Cell culture media analysis turnaround time and cost details:

?

Total turnaround time to results of media analysis from the time of sample collection, including shipping & handling of samples to and from the lab

?

Per sample cost of media analysis including shipping & handling. If using in-house laboratory, enter the estimate for intercompany transfer price charged to your cost center (typical range $70-$150 at internal lab and $250-$500 at external lab)
