Abstract
Anchorage-dependent cells are grown in agitated microcarrier suspension in which the cells and microcarriers are aggregated by periodically providing a temporary residence of said microcarriers and cells outside the main cell culture reactor agitation zone and in a separate compartment wherein they are subjected to a gentle tumbling action within a confined space having substantially the same environmental conditions as in the main cell culture reactor.
