Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to a combination of techniques and/or materials that can be used to form a synthetic scaffold for solid and/or hollow organs or tissue. In some embodiments, methods are provided that involve assembling a synthetic scaffold using a first material for a first structural component and a second material for a second structural component, in which the first or second structural component in a perfusion pathway. In some embodiments, materials (e.g. synthetic materials) for the scaffold are printed, molded, cast, polymerized or electrospun. In some embodiments, a scaffold may mimic a natural scaffold or several features of a natural scaffold.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a product at or on-route to a point of delivery in order to eliminate shipments of pre-made products from remote manufacturing sites are implemented through a manned or unmanned transportation vehicle, a multi-axis printer (with the necessary servo mechanisms or services to complete the product), and a central computing device. The transportation vehicle provides the mean of transportation to the multi-axis printer from one location to another as the multi-axis printer is able to output a final product in accordance to consumer requirements. The central computing device is communicably coupled with the multi-axis printer and the transportation vehicle to execute a manufacture request that provides the specifications of the final product. Once the final product is constructed, the multi-axis printer performs at least one reliability test for the final product to insure the proper functionality and the structural integrity of the final product.

Abstract: This invention relates to equilibrium dialysis systems and methods. More particularly, the invention relates to pre-assembled or ready-to-use single-well or multi-well dialysis systems that are disposable in their entirety, comprising a molded block for performing equilibrium dialysis of one or more samples. Such equilibrium dialysis systems can be used for protein binding assays, molecule-molecule interaction studies, tissue cultures and many other biological and chemical applications. Such equilibrium dialysis systems are suitable for use in manual or high throughput formats.
