Definition

volume that is a quality of process material and that is the volume occupied by that process material in a vessel during a planned process

Explanatory Notes

Working volume is the actual volume of process material present in a vessel during a planned process. It should be distinguished from working volume capacity, which is a capacity of the vessel, and from total vessel volume, which is a geometric volume of the vessel. For example, a bioreactor may have a total vessel volume of 250 L, a working volume capacity of 50–200 L, and a working volume of 120 L during a particular cell cultivation process

Examples

  • the 120 L working volume of a CHO cell culture in a 250 L bioreactor during a fed-batch cultivation process; the 3 L working volume of buffer in a mixing vessel during buffer preparation;

Primitive Class

This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.

Primitive Rationale

There are insufficient constructs for creating a set of necessary and sufficient conditions
