Foaming in Cell Culture Systems Effects on Hydrodynamics and Mass Transfer

13 FOAMING IN CELL CULTURE SYSTEMS EFFECTS ON HYDRODYNAMICS AND MASS TRANSFER 

As a rule, pure liquids do not foam when contacted with a gas. A foaming liquid generally prevents local thinning of the liquid film surrounding a bubble. On the other hand, a nonfoaming liquid allows thinning and thereby coalescence of neighboring bubbles
