Continuous culture has an advantage over to a batch cultures as
continuous reactors do not need to be shut down and cleaned as regularly as a batch reactor
most downstream and upstream processes are continuous in nature and thus the operation of continuous bioreactor can be better integrated into the overall manufacturing process
cells can be maintained at a constant physiological state simply by setting the dilution rate
all of the above
