  • Publication number: 20240010983
    Abstract: The present invention is directed toward edible hollow fibers and cartridges and bioreactors comprising the hollow fibers of the present invention, as well as, methods of production of structured clean meat products produced with the hollow fibers, cartridges and bioreactors of the present invention and the structured clean meat products produced by said methods. The macroscopic structure of structured clean meat grown on edible hollow fibers will result in a unique final structure. This final structure will contain a finite amount of fibers per unit area; with meat on the outside of the fibers.

  • Patent number: 11752470
    Abstract: A scaling tool for replicating filtration characteristics of a large-scale filtration device, the scaling tool comprising a housing having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, and a filter receiving region in fluid communication with the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet and configured to contain a membrane comprising one or more pleats, the filter receiving region being defined by a rigid wall framework configured to hold the one or more pleats of the membrane and compress the pleats in an amount effective to replicate the filtration performance of the large-scale filtration device. Also disclosed is a methodology for configuring a filter receiving region in a scaling tool.
