A microcarrier is a support matrix allowing for the growth of adherent cells in bioreactors. In 1967, microcarrier development began when van Wezel found that microcarriers could support the growth of anchorage-dependent cells. Microcarriers are typically 125 - 250 micrometre spheres and their density allows them to be maintained in suspension wit...

Microcarriers are small solid or in some cases immiscible liquid spheres, on which cells may be grown in suspension culture. They provide a means of obtaining large yields of cells in small volumes. The cells must exhibit anchorage dependence of growth and the dimensions of the carrier bead may be important in controlling growth rate. The term is imprecise and has other potential meanings.
