Abstract
The apparatuses described herein relate to preparation of a meat product. Apparatuses, systems comprising the apparatuses, and methods of making and use the systems and apparatuses are described herein. These are useful for controlling one or more of growth on and separation of a meat product from an enclosed substrate. The apparatuses and systems are configured to receive fluid and grow the meat product and/or separate the meat product from the substrate in a scalable manner.
Claims20
A method of growing a cell mass, comprising:
- a) growing the cell mass on a substrate of an apparatus;
- and
- b) separating the cell mass from the substrate in a continuous sheet of cells held together by one or more of cell-to-cell interactions and extracellular matrix generated by the cells.
A method for growing a cell-based product, comprising:
- providing an enclosure having a cavity and a substrate, wherein the substrate is non-horizontal and non-vertical relative to a ground surface;
- circulating media comprising cells across the substrate to cause one or more cells to adhere to the substrate;
- providing nutritious media to the one or more cells using a first flow rate;
- and
- harvesting the one or more cells using a second flow rate.
