  • Publication number: 20230332091
    Abstract: A bioreactor system for receiving a disposable bioreactor bag comprises a receiving container having a container wall which defines a receiving space in which the disposable bioreactor bag is received in an operating state of the bioreactor system. A stirring system projects at least partially into the receiving space and is designed and configured to stir a biomedium present in the disposable bioreactor bag in the operating state of the bioreactor system. At least one baffle, which makes the receiving space smaller and differs from the container wall, serves to reduce a laminar flow of the biomedium. A temperature control medium flows through at least part of the at least one baffle, said temperature control medium controlling the temperature of the baffle.

  • Publication number: 20200283710
    Abstract: A container (1, 1b) of a bioreactor (1a, 1b) has a container interior (22) designed for being filled with a medium (8) including a photoreactive material, and designed for at least partially triggering a photochemical reaction of the photoreactive material. The container (1, 1b) has at least one illuminant receiving pouch (11) that is at least partially transparent for an electromagnetic radiation (14), and that is arranged on a illuminant opening (12) within the container interior (22) and is designed to receive at least one illuminant (15, 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d, 15e) from an outer side (A) through the illuminant opening (12, 12a, 12b). The illuminant at least partially irradiates the medium (8) such that the photochemical reaction of the photoreactive material can be triggered by electromagnetic radiation (14) emitted by the illuminant and the illuminant is isolated in relation to the medium (8) by the illuminant receiving pouch (11).
