Carousel for modular biologic production units

An automated carousel system for the distribution and ergonomic positioning of a plurality of biological production units, each of the plurality of biological production units comprising an automated individually operable cell culture system, the automated carousel system comprising:

• a) an automated carousel comprising:
• a vertical housing assembly mounted on a base, the vertical housing assembly comprising a location for supplying resources to each of the plurality of biological production units;
• a plurality of translation assemblies each associated with the vertical housing assembly for supporting each of the plurality of biological production units and for further translating each of the plurality of biological production units to a location for operator access to the cell culture system within each of the plurality of biological production units;
• wherein the plurality of translation assemblies further provides consistent vertical axis orientation of the plurality of biological production units during translation of each of the plurality of biological production units to the location for operator access;
• and
• wherein the plurality of translation assemblies each comprise a central hub having an inner hub comprising a central shaft for engaging with an input shaft of each of the plurality of biological production units, the central shaft mounted to an extending resistance arm, the inner hub configured to axially and individually rotate each of the plurality of biological production units;
• the plurality of translation assemblies further supporting each of the plurality of biological production units, wherein the plurality of translation assemblies are configured to provide:
• (i) separate translational movement of each biological production unit while maintaining a cantilevered orientation of each biological production unit;
• and
• (ii) axial rotation of each biological production unit;
• and
• b) a controller for independent biological control of each cell culture system within each biological production unit.
