Why Are Bioreactor Systems Preferred Over Traditional Methods?
Traditional toxicological assessment methods often rely on animal testing or static cell cultures, which have limitations in terms of ethical concerns, cost, and relevance to human physiology. Bioreactor systems offer several advantages:
Ethical Considerations: Reduce the need for animal testing by providing alternative in vitro models. Scalability and Repeatability: Allow for controlled, repeatable experiments that can be scaled up for industrial applications. Human-Relevant Models: Better replicate human organ systems and physiological conditions, improving the relevance of toxicological data. Cost-Effectiveness: Lower operational costs compared to animal testing and reduce the time required for toxicity assessments.
