Abstract
A bioreactor for cell culturing comprising a container having a base portion and a side wall defining an internal volume. The bioreactor also has a lid that closes the internal volume of the container. The base is moveable toward and away from the lid. The bioreactor also includes a baffle member mounted to the lid and positioned in the internal volume of the container such that the baffle member is arranged to mix contents of the bioreactor as the base is moved relative to the lid.
Claims25
A bioreactor for cell culturing, the bioreactor comprising:
- a container having a base and a side wall defining an internal volume, and a lid closing the internal volume, wherein the base is moveable toward and away from the lid;
- and
- a baffle member mounted to the lid and positioned in the internal volume of the container such that the baffle member is arranged to mix contents of the bioreactor as the base is moved relative to the lid.
A bioreactor system comprising:
- a bioreactor comprising;
- a container having a base and a side wall defining an internal volume, and a lid closing the internal volume, wherein the base is moveable toward and away from the lid;
- and
- a baffle member mounted to the lid and positioned in the internal volume of the container such that the baffle member is arranged to mix contents of the bioreactor as the base is moved relative to the lid;
- and
- an agitator arranged to move the base of the bioreactor such that during use the baffle member mixes contents of the bioreactor.
A method of cell culturing, the method comprising:
- providing a bioreactor system comprising;
- a bioreactor comprising:
- a container having a base and a side wall defining an internal volume, and a lid closing the internal volume, wherein the base is moveable toward and away from the lid;
- and
- a baffle member mounted to the lid and positioned in the internal volume of the container such that the baffle member is arranged to mix contents of the bioreactor as the base is moved relative to the lid;
- and
- an agitator arranged to move be base of the bioreactor such that during use the baffle member mixes contents of the bioreactor;
- providing a cell suspension in the container of the bioreactor;
- and
- moving the base of the bioreactor such that the baffle member agitates the cell suspension.
