Various technologies have been developed to further improve the system (Tarmizi and Zaiton, 2005). The two-in-one MPOB Simple Impeller (2-in- 1 MoSLIM) was developed as a new process to provide simultaneous aeration and agitation (two-in-one) for establishment, maintenance … Read more

Conventional liquid culture of cells is limited by the size of the flasks or shakers (Tarmizi, 2002). To scale-up, bioreactor or special commercial flasks are used (Tarmizi et al., 2003). These systems are expensive. Furthermore,mostofthem usedifferent devices for agitation and aeration. To address this issue, the two-in-one MPOB simple impeller (2-in-1 MoSLIM) was developed to … Read more
