Abstract

A bioreactor includes a bioreactor container, and a root stand. The container has a base and one or more sidewalls connected to the base, the base and sidewalls together defining an interior bioreactor volume. The root stand is supported by the container within the bioreactor volume, and includes a first support comb and a second support comb, each support comb having a plurality of spaced apart teeth. The teeth of the first support comb extend in length in a first direction and the teeth of the second support comb extend in length in a second direction different from the first direction. The first support comb overlaying the second support comb when the root stand is supported in the container, and the first support comb being separable from the second support comb when the root stand is removed from the container. A gravity well and atmosphere control container are also disclosed.
