Claims19
A bioreactor system comprising:
- a base defining a well for holding nutrients;
- a dish supported in the base and having a membrane for holding biological material such that the material is in contact with the nutrients;
- a lid covering the well and the dish, the lid having a sealing port accessible with a tube for introducing or removing biological material from the dish and/or nutrients from the well, the port being sealed closed when a tube is not introduced.
A bioreactor system comprising:
- a base defining a well for holding nutrients;
- a dish supported in the base and having a membrane for holding biological material such that the material is in contact with the nutrients;
- a lid covering the well and the dish, the lid having a moisture barrier gas permeable membrane in the lid.
A method comprising:
- providing a well with nutrients;
- providing biological material into a dish that is supported in a base over the well, the dish including a membrane on which the material is supported and that allows the nutrients to interact with the biological material;
- covering the well and base with a lid having a sealing port;
- and
- using a tubular member to insert or remove biological material and/or nutrients through the port without removing the lid.
