Abstract
A cell culture substrate is provided that includes a substrate lattice having an ordered array of fibers and pores disposed between the fibers. The ordered array of fibers includes a cell culture surface to support adherent or semi-adherent cells during cell culture. The cell culture substrate further includes a positive charge coating disposed on the cell culture surface to promote adhesion of cells to the cell culture surface.
Claims28
A cell culture substrate comprising:
- a substrate lattice comprising an ordered array of fibers and pores disposed between the fibers, the ordered array of fibers comprising a cell culture surface configured to support adherent or semi-adherent cells during cell culture;
- and
- a positive charge coating disposed on the cell culture surface, the positive charge coating being configured to promote adhesion of cells to the cell culture surface.

A packed-bed bioreactor system for culturing cells, the system comprising:
- a vessel comprising a media inlet, a media outlet, and an interior cavity disposed between and in fluid communication with the media inlet and media outlet;
- a cell culture substrate disposed in the interior cavity between the media inlet and the media outlet in a packed-bed configuration, the cell culture substrate comprising a porous substrate comprising a surface configured to culture cells thereon;
- and
- a positive charge coating disposed on the surface of the porous substrate, the positive charge coating being configured to promote adhesion of cells to the surface of the disks.
