Abstract
Bioreactors may be used for the cultivation of cells, in particular of adherent cells, and, in particular for the cultivation and propagation of cell cultures, and utilized in methods for the cultivation of cells. A particular area of application is the use of the bioreactors in the GMP-compliant, fully automatic cultivation and propagation of cells.
Claims18
A bioreactor for the cultivation of cells, wherein reactor space of the bioreactor is subdivided by a membrane unit, which is liquid-permeable at least in partial regions, into two reactor regions and wherein each of these two reactor regions has an opening suitable for letting in and/or letting out a liquid.
A method for using a bioreactor, the method comprising using a bioreactor having reactor space which is subdivided by a membrane unit, which is liquid-permeable at least in partial regions, into two reactor regions and wherein each of these two reactor regions has an opening suitable for letting in and/or letting out a liquid for cultivating cells.
The method of using a bioreactor, wherein the method comprises using the bioreactor method comprising using a bioreactor having reactor space which is subdivided by a membrane unit, which is liquid-permeable at least in partial regions, into two reactor regions and wherein each of these two reactor regions has an opening suitable for letting in and/or letting out a liquid in an automated device to produce tissue from cell cultures.
A method for the cultivation of cells including
- providing a bioreactor having a reactor space subdivided into two reactor regions by a membrane unit having, which is liquid-permeable at least in partial regions, and wherein each of these two reactor regions has an opening suitable for letting in and/or letting out a liquid;
- applying cells to the membrane of the membrane unit;
- and
- cultivating the cells in the bioreactor.
