  • Publication number: 20230108089
    Abstract: An automated cell culture and tissue engineering system comprising defined and separate environmental zones provide for increased control and maintenance of the internal environment of the system such that the temperature, air flow and gases surrounding the bioreactor module form one zone that is maintained separately to a second zone formed surrounding the reagent fluid reservoir. The system further comprises means for elimination and/or management of condensation within the second zone of the system.

  • Publication number: 20220106546
    Abstract: The invention is an automated advanced tissue engineering system that comprises a housing in which one or more tissue engineering modules are accommodated together with a central microprocessor that controls functioning of the tissue engineering modules. In one embodiment, the tissue engineering module comprises a housing supporting one or more bioreactor chamber assemblies and a fluid reservoir operationally engageable with the housing. The bioreactor chamber assemblies may be selected depending on the end product option desired and may include, for example, a cell therapy bioreactor chamber, a single implant bioreactor chamber and a multiple (mosaic) implant bioreactor chamber.
