Bioreaction module for biochemical reactions

A bioreaction module for biochemical reactions, said module comprising a system chamber, one or more supply chambers, and one or more semi-permeable membranes that allow bidirectional exchange of products and liquids between the system chamber and the one or more supply chambers;

• wherein the system chamber is defined by a system chamber element and one or more of said semi-permeable membranes and said system chamber contains a producing system during the biochemical reaction;
• wherein each supply chamber is defined by a supply chamber element and one of said semi-permeable membranes which separate the supply chamber from the system chamber and said supply chamber contains a supply liquid during the biochemical reaction;
• said module further comprising sealing means engaging a peripheral marginal section of said one or more semi-permeable membranes,
• wherein the one or more supply chamber and/or the system chamber contains a magnetic stirring element.
