Based on the hydrogel composition being 100 wt %, the first deionized water is 95 wt % to 98.46 wt %, the gel powder is 1 wt % to 3 wt %, the transglutaminase mixture is 0.04 wt % to 0.15 wt %, and the hyaluronic acid powder is 0.5 wt % to 1.5 wt %.

Abstract: A magnetic cell biocarrier combined with a powerless bioreactor system comprising a biocarrier, a powerless bioreactor, and a magnetic field device. The biocarrier can detach the cells through temperature regulation and can be adsorbed by the magnetic field device to stabilize at the bottom of the gooseneck cell culture tank; the powerless bioreactor comprises a microinfusion element, a culture fluid collection element, and a gooseneck cell culture tank; the internal space of the gooseneck cell culture tank is interconnected with the microinfusion element and the culture fluid collection element, the microinfusion element slowly injects fresh culture medium When the culture medium in the gooseneck cell culture tank is above an overflow position, the cell metabolites can be automatically discharged to the culture fluid collection element by the interconnected vessels to reduce the risk of cell contamination.

Abstract: A two-way information exchange system, which allows a requesting client employing an intelligent communication device to conduct information exchange with a target client, includes a communication module, a memory module, an authentication module, a selection module, a central processing module, an evaluation module, and an authorization module. The central processing module can search for one online client meeting the exchange condition provided from the requesting client to be served as a primary target client, and search the memory module for one or more clients meeting the exchange condition to be served as false target clients. The central processing module can send the identity data of the target clients to the intelligent communication device, and receive/send exchange information between the clients.
