The common theme in all unit procedures in this group is that they all are intended to represent a string of actions before and/or after a reaction (or fermentation) in batch mode. The difference between all members lies in the hosting equipment resource type:
1. Reactor, see Batch Vessel Procedure in a Reactor
2. Seed Reactor, see Batch Vessel Procedure in a Seed Reactor
3. Bioreactor, see Batch Vessel Procedure in a Bioreactor
4. Seed Bioreactor, see Batch Vessel Procedure in a Seed Bioreactor
5. Disposable Bioreactor, see Batch Vessel Procedure in a Disposable Bioreactor
6. Disposable Seed Bioreactor, see Batch Vessel Procedure in a Disposable Seed Bioreactor
7. Fermentor, see Batch Vessel Procedure in a Fermentor
8. Seed Fermentor, see Batch Vessel Procedure in a Seed Fermentor
9. Air-Lift Fermentor, see Batch Vessel Procedure in a Disposable Bioreactor
The operation options for any of the above unit procedures are essentially the same.

It is not a requirement that you include a reaction (or fermentation) operation in a vessel unit procedure. It is perfectly fine to insert a Vessel Procedure in a Bioreactor and only have some transfer in and out operations. |
The remainder of this section, is dedicated to the description of these procedures.
