A Parameters from the Non-Steady State number balance for each phase. B Parameters from the Instantaneous Steady State number balance for each phase. C Calculated Net Growth/Transfer Rate from the Non-Steady State number balance. D Calculated Net Growth/Transfer Rate from the Instantaneous Steady State number balance. E Calculated ratio of cell input to the reactor from the tap over input from the Net Growth/Transfer Rate using the Non-Steady State number balance. F Calculated ratio of cell input to the reactor from the tap over input from the Net Growth/Transfer Rate using the Instantaneous Steady State number balance. In boxplots, box edges correspond to the first quartile, median, and third quartile. Whiskers extend from the edge to the largest and smallest values no further than 1.5× the interquartile range from the edge. Data beyond the whiskers are considered outliers and plotted individually.
