The present invention uses one or more bags that are capable of being
selectively pressurized and deflated in conjunction with a disposable bio
bag such as a fermenter, mixing bag, storage bag and the like. The
pressure bag(s) may surround a selected outer portion of the bag or may
be contained within an inner portion of such a bag. By selectively
pressurizing and deflating the pressure bag(s), one is able to achieve
fluid motion in the bag thereby ensuring cell suspension, mixing and gas
transfer within the bag without damaging shear forces or foam generation.
