Abstract
A cell/tissue culture system comprising at least one bioreactor configured to hold at least one type of cell to cultivate tissue, a dialysis unit comprising a dialysis membrane, a fresh medium unit, and a waste removal unit configured to remove metabolic waste from dialysate, wherein the metabolic waste comprises ammonia and lactate, and wherein the waste removal unit comprises biocatalysts or enzymes configured to breakdown lactate and generate carbon sources that promote cell growth.
Claims18
A system for in vitro meat production comprising:
- a bioreactor configured to hold at least one type of cells to form tissue;
- a dialysis unit comprising a dialysis membrane configured to replenish nutrients to the cells and remove metabolic waste from the bioreactor to dialysate;
- a fresh medium unit connected to the dialysis unit and configured to supply the dialysate to the dialysis unit;
- and
- a waste removal unit connected to the fresh medium unit and configured to remove the metabolic waste from the dialysate;
- wherein the dialysate comprises nutrients for the cells,
- wherein the metabolic waste comprises ammonia and lactate,
- wherein the waste removal unit comprises a first biocatalyst configured to breakdown ammonia,
- wherein the waste removal unit comprises a second biocatalyst configured to breakdown lactate,
- wherein each of the bioreactors, the dialysis unit, the fresh medium unit and the water removal unit are detachably connected to the system.
