    Abstract: Systems (700) and methods (800) for method of continuous fluid flow in a bioreactor (700) is provided. The method (800) comprises providing (805) a bioreactor system (700) including a bioreactor volume (720), a filtration part (730), and a recirculation line (721) including a recirculation pump (722) is provided between the bioreactor volume (720) and the filtration part (730). The method (800) further comprises providing (810) a plurality of sensors (760) along the recirculation line (721) and monitoring the fluid flow parameters using the sensors (760). The method further comprises sending (820) a plurality of signals from the sensors (760) indicative of the fluid flow parameters to one or more controllers; and controlling (830) the fluid flow rate at the recirculation pump (722) by means of the or each controller.

    Abstract: The present subject matter discloses a bioreactor apparatus. The bioreactor apparatus comprises a bioreactor vessel configured to culture cells. The bioreactor apparatus furthermore comprises a sensor configured to measure Dissolved Oxygen (DO) in the bioreactor vessel. The DO measurements comprise a plurality of DO values recorded at, at least, a plurality of time instances during operation of the bioreactor apparatus. The bioreactor apparatus furthermore comprises a controller configured to obtain the DO measurements. The controller furthermore is to determine, in real-time or approximately real-time, an oxygen mass transfer co-efficient (kLa) associated with the operation of the bioreactor apparatus. Furthermore, the controller is configured to control, in real-time or approximately real-time, at least one cell culture parameter associated with the operation of the bioreactor apparatus based on the kLa.
