Abstract
The gas sparging of culture broth causes damage to suspended animal cells. However,
despite this, sparged bioreactors remain the preferred means of cell culture because
sparging is a robust method of supplying oxygen, especially on a large scale. This
article examines the underlying mechanisms involved in bubble-associated cell damage
and the methods available for controlling such damage.
