Multi-well plates are widely used in high throughput drug screening, cell clone development, media design and cell culture optimization in the biotechnology industry. The reproducibility and data quality of cell cultures in multi-well plates are greatly affected by mixing, aeration, and evaporation. A novel 24-microwell plate (MWP) with static mixers for improved mixing and aeration, and gas permeable lids for reduced evaporation was developed for cell cultures. Mixing, oxygen transfer, evaporation, and cell proliferation as affected by the static mixer, shape of the well and agitation rate were studied. The static mixer improved mixing pattern and reduced cell aggregation under orbital shaking conditions. Consequently, the static mixer also improved cell proliferation with a significantly higher specific growth rate in round wells. In general, consistent growth kinetics was observed for cells cultured on the plate. Overall, the MWP improved the data quality with smaller standard deviations and better reproducibility. Furthermore, CHO cells cultured in the MWP gave similar kinetics in glucose consumption, lactate production, cell growth and viability, and antibody production in a serum-free medium to those cultured in spinner flasks, demonstrating its scalable performance and potential application in high throughput screening for cell culture process development.
