Of tonnes of meat. they cells are frozen and packed ready for shipping to lab—grown meat companies all over the world. so, jackie, we have come through here to see the next part of the process. talk to me about this piece of equipment and what it is doing. this piece of equipment is a bio—reactor, similar to what you get on a much larger scale in a brewery, for example, where you can take lots of cells and amplify them. and our goal here is to get as much mass as possible of the cells for preparation of prototypes, and we would share that data with our cultivated meat customers. so are the...

Several thousand, perhaps up to 100,000 litres for the full scale cultivated meat companies of the future. and if renewable energy is used to power those bio—reactors, it could be a greener way to generate meat. we have come to a part of the lab that you might not expect, we are in the kitchen, and that is because of those little flecks that you saw spinning around anything in the bio—reactor have been harvested, and they now look like this. helena is going to combine them with some other ingredients, and we're going to cook a sausage. how do you decide what to put in? you have got quite a...

So cells that can continually self—renew. let me illustrate an example. 0ur cells, they double every 2a hours. if you take a cell on day one, i have two on day two, after three days, i have four cells. within roughly 42 days, i have enough cells to fill a kind of a bottle this size. and after 63 days, i have enough cells to fill a swimming pool. so with one single cell we can make millions of tonnes of meat. the cells are frozen and packed ready for shipping to lab—grown meat companies all over the world. this piece of equipment is a bio—reactor, similar to what you get on a much larger ...

What we find is that the little piggy cells like to clump together and be with each other, which is great, actually, for cultivated meat, because we don't have to add any special microcarriers in to let the cells swirl in solution. at the moment, at this scale, you're producing quite small amounts, and if a company was to be doing this on a large commercial scale, what kind of size of bio—reactor are we talking about? several thousand, perhaps up to 100,000 litres for the full scale cultivated meat companies of the future. and if renewable energy is used to power those bio—reactors, it cou...
