ABSTRACT:
Bioactive cells are immobilized by suspending bioactive cells in an aqueous solution of a salt-free osmolarity adjuster, alginate and polyethylene glycol, dividing the suspension into bead-sized globules, contacting the globules with a solution of divalent cations to gel the alginate to form beads containing polyethylene glycol-filled areas and removing the polyethylene glycol to form voids in the beads entrapping the bioactive cells. By perfusing the beads with a nutrient medium, the cells can proliferate in the voids to produce high cell densities and produce a product which can be separated from the medium.
