Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019051486A1] In an embodiment of the invention, there may be provided a bioreactor having tissue scaffolds and having culture medium perfused therethrough. There may be multiple independent culture chambers and reservoirs or sub-reservoirs. Sensors can provide for individually controlling conditions in various culture chambers, and various culture chambers can be operated differently or for different durations. It is possible to infer the number of cells or the progress toward confluence from the fluid resistance of the scaffold, based on flowrate and pressure drop. Harvesting may include any combination or sequence of; exposure to harvesting reagent; vibration; liquid flow that is steady, pulsatile or oscillating; passage of gas-liquid interface through the scaffold. Vibration and flow can be applied so as to reinforce each other.
