Enzyme immobilization is a readily employed strategy to facilitate biocatalyst separation and reuse. This frequently takes place on (or in) soft materials such as alginate or agarose beads, or cross-linked enzyme aggregates.
These materials tend to have a low tolerance to pressure gradients, which creates challenges for a fixed bed reactor. Likewise, a stirred tank reactor will quickly damage soft materials due to their poor mechanical integrity.
The Rotating Bed Reactor (RBR) solves both the issue of mechanical damage and high pressure drops, allowing a wider application window for which novel immobilization methods and advanced carrier materials can be developed. Find exemplary applications using soft enzyme immobilization materials below.
