  • Bioreactor for growing cell or tissue cultures
    Patent number: 7604987
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bioreactor comprising a chamber for containing cells or tissue cultures within a culture medium. The bioreactor also comprises a detector capable of detecting a change in one or more metabolites associated with growth of the cell or tissue cultures within the chamber and a chamber drive capable of rotating the chamber at a first speed about a first axis and a second speed about a second axis, the second axis being disposed at an angle relative to the first axis. In use, the magnitude of the first speed and the second speed are independently variable of each other.

  • Dual axis bioreactor, system and method for growing cell or tissue cultures
    Publication number: 20040241835
    Abstract: The invention relates to a continuous flow dual axis bioreactor (10) for growing three-dimensional cell or tissue cultures. The bioreactor (10) includes a chamber (12) adapted to contain a three-dimensional matrix for growing three-dimensional cell or tissue cultures. A rotatable plate (14) supports the chamber (12) and is rotatable about a vertical axis (16). The rotatable plate (14) is supported on an rotary L-shaped bracket (20) that rotates about a horizontal axis (22). Two multi-flow fluid connectors (32,34) are provided to prevent any pipes connecting the chamber to a feed source or a product tank from being entangled and to allow continuous flow to and from the bioreactor (10).
