Magnetic levitation pump priming
Priming the magnetic levitation pump is
required for top fed bioreactors
because an external force
is required to draw liquid up and out of the bioreactor through the tubing and into the magnetic
levitation pump. Priming is typically not required for bottom fed bioreactors.
