This document discusses scaling up animal cell and microbial production processes from small to large scale. Key points include: 1. Maintaining optimal physiological conditions as processes are scaled up from small to large bioreactors. 2. Factors that must be considered when scaling up include the fermentor/bioreactor system, agitation, pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen levels. 3. Scaling up usually occurs gradually in 10x increments from 1L to 10,000L bioreactors. Limiting factors include oxygen supply, shear damage from mixing, and toxic metabolite build up.
