Definition
inorganic molecular entity consisting of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to each other
Explanatory Notes
Dioxygen Molecule is the molecular form O₂. In common laboratory, bioprocess, and manufacturing usage, it is often referred to simply as oxygen, for example when discussing dissolved oxygen, oxygen sparging, or oxygen transfer.
Examples
- dissolved oxygen in cell culture medium; oxygen present in the headspace of a culture vessel; oxygen transferred from the gas phase into the liquid phase of a bioreactor; oxygen consumed by aerobic cells during cultivation
