Alginate has been widely used in various applications since its first extraction. What makes this biopolymer useful is its high biocompatibility and humid gelation conditions. Both of these features bring it into prominence as an ideal immobilization material. However, there are some complicated aspects of cell immobilization using alginate biopolymers. This review discuses and clarifies these crucial points, using as an example the bioprocessing of highly fragile cells (hybridoma cells). The review focuses on the cultivation and production of alginate encapsulated cells.
