However, in cell culture technology, sterilization using an autoclave is commonly used to prevent contamination with germs, and autoclave sterilization is generally performed at 121°C and at a rate of 1 kg/an! ,1
This is done under the condition of 5 minutes. Hollow fibers made of polysulfone have the disadvantage that they become unusable due to discoloration when sterilized in a 2- to 3-concave autoclave. Further, hollow fibers made of polyvinylidene fluoride have the disadvantage that the hollow fibers are crushed by autoclave sterilization. Therefore, there has been a need for a bioreactor using hollow fibers that can withstand autoclave sterilization conditions.

Furthermore, in the case of plant cells, high growth efficiency can be expected by providing ventilation holes and exhaust holes on the side wall of the reaction tube in order to supply gaseous air between the hollow fibers. In order to supply sufficient air to every corner of the reaction tube, it is necessary to provide a supply hole with a filter for air supply and an exhaust hole with a filter for discharge to prevent the contamination of bacteria such as foam coatings and cotton plugs. Even if the pore size is somewhat large, it can be blocked as long as it is thick, and if the material is hydrophobic, the bacteria blocking effect will be greater than the pore size. Generally, pores with a diameter of about 0°22μ are used.
