Patent number: 12612585Abstract: A cell culture bioreactor has membranes divided into a plurality of zones. The membranes may include perfusion membranes carrying a liquid media and/or gas transfer membranes. The bioreactor has one or more sensors configured to collect data from one or more locations within the bioreactor. The supply of one or more of the gaseous and/or liquid media to a selected zone or zones may be controlled. In some examples, the supply includes a background supply and a selectable incremental supply. The bioreactor may be used to grow cells in suspension. Liquid media circulates within an extra-capillary space of the bioreactor. In some examples, a portion of cells is permitted for a period of time to be restrained within one or more zones of the membranes. Elements of a reactor may be made in a mold. A reactor may be operated in a fed-batch process.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2021Date of Patent: April 28, 2026Assignee: ABEC, INC.Inventors: Shane Alexander Jaques Kilpatrick, Scott Raymond Pundsack, Andrew Michael Pundsack

Patent number: 12297414Abstract: A cell culture bioreactor has perfusion membranes and gas transfer membranes or a gas phase in an extra-membrane space in contact with a film on the perfusion membranes. Gas transfer membranes may travel through the perfusion membranes or through the extra-membrane space. Examples with hollow fiber and flat sheet membranes are shown. One or more of the membranes optionally has a responsive surface, for example a thermo-responsive surface. In some examples, membranes are located in X-Y planes while the length of the reactor extends in a Z-direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2021Date of Patent: May 13, 2025Assignee: ABEC, Inc.Inventors: Shane Alexander Jaques Kilpatrick, Scott Raymond Pundsack, Moin Ahmed
