Interesting thoughts! On the scale-down method: with a ~2L vessel and a doubling time of ~24hr (28hr in gfi report). That would be a couple of grams of dry matter per day. not sure how that would work out in space though (let alone mixing in o2 or harvesting).

I've never heard of any type of cells at larger scale that remain contamination free that way... as well as something that doubles only once per 24hrs. Seems like a mission impossible though (let alone the capex investments for all fermentors...)

Hi New harvest,

I've been following the cultured meat scene for a couple of years now and i've been getting more and more sceptical on the scalability of it all (no reactors above 100L for example). Additionally, there is the lovely opinion piece on thecounter recently that sums up some critical points (link: https://thecounter.org/lab-grown-cultivated-meat-cost-at-scale/)

How do you envision to tackle some of these scaling issues?
