A bioprocess uses living cells to produce a Bioproduct.
In the context of BactoBox®, we focus on microbial bioprocesses. That is, bioprocesses with cells in the micrometer range.
A bioprocess is the result of Bioproduct.
A bioprocess has two subprocesses: Upstream and downstream.
In practical terms, an upstream bioprocess is everything that goes on inside a vessel (e.g., inside a bioreactor).
The key steps are:
🌱 You seed (inoculate) the vessel (e.g., bioreactor) with your seed culture.
🌿 You wait for your culture to grow inside the controlled environment of the vessel.
🌽 You harvest the culture for further processing downstream.
The goal of the upstream bioprocess is to get a high-quality culture for harvest.
