Shake flasks remain a cornerstone of early-stage bioprocess development, yet oxygen transfer and utilization within these systems are often poorly understood and inconsistently managed. In this introductory webinar, we will explore the critical role of oxygen in microbial and mammalian culture systems, highlighting how oxygen availability directly impacts growth kinetics, metabolism, and experimental reproducibility.
Attendees will gain foundational insights into oxygen transfer mechanisms:
- Identify key parameters such as KLa, OUR, OTR
- Discuss common limitations in traditional shake flask setups and
- Introduce strategies for improving oxygen availability and monitoring.
This session is designed for researchers, students, and bioprocess professionals seeking to strengthen their understanding of oxygen dynamics in shake flasks and apply best practices to enhance shake flask culture performance from the earliest stages of process development.
