Washout in bioprocess engineering refers to the loss of microorganisms or cells from a bioreactor due to excessive dilution, often caused by high flow rates or inadequate retention mechanisms. This phenomenon can lead to reduced biomass concentration and diminished productivity, impacting the overall efficiency of the fermentation process. It is crucial to balance the inflow and outflow rates to maintain optimal conditions for microbial growth and metabolite production. Strategies such as using cell retention devices can help mitigate washout effects.
The washout point in a bioprocess occurs when the dilution rate of the growth medium is equal to or greater than the specific growth rate of the microorganisms, resulting in the inability of the microorganisms to grow and be retained in the bioreactor. This leads to a loss of biomass and disrupts the steady-state operation of the bioprocess.

Factors that influence protein yield in a bioprocess include the type of organism used, the growth conditions, the fermentation process, and the purification methods employed.
Capillary washout is a stage of shock that is irreversible. When capillary washout occurs all cell functions stop and the cells die. There is large amounts of potassium acid forced in to the openings of the capillary sphincters and begin to form clots.
