title: Sampling and sample handling--crucial steps in process monitoring and control.
abstract: Sampling and sample handling are important considerations in the design of monitoring and control systems for bioreactors. Many factors must be considered in developing strategies for obtaining representative samples, thus ensuring that the status of the bioprocess can be evaluated rapidly, in a reproducible and reliable manner.
