Abstract
Provided herein are a culture apparatus, culture systems and an alternating ionic magnetic resonance electromagnetic chamber for culturing cells, tissues or organoid bodies or for delivering a pulsating alternating ionic magnetic resonance field to an object of interest including the above or to an animal, human or plant. The culture apparatus comprises a culture unit having growth and nutrient modules and a randomizing adapter to continually randomize the gravity vector in the growth module. The culture systems further comprise the alternating ionic magnetic resonance electromagnetic chamber.
Claims8
A culture system for culturing cells, tissue or organoid bodies, comprising:
- a nutrient module having a proximal end;
- a first gas-permeable membrane disposed on the proximal end;
- a gas port fitted onto the first-gas permeable membrane;
- and
- a first sealable opening on the distal end
- a growth module having a proximal end comprising a second gas-permeable membrane with a plurality of inlet/outlet ports disposed thereon and a distal end comprising a baffling system and a semi-permeable membrane, said growth module fluidly connected with the first gas-permeable membrane in the nutrient module;
- a randomizing adapter having an open proximal end of a diameter sufficient to receive the nutrient module therein, said distal end of the nutrient module adaptable to electrically connect with a randomizing mechanism comprising the adapter such that the gravity vector of the growth module fluidly connected to the nutrient module is continually randomized;
- a removable open-ended substantially cylindrical electromagnetic chamber with a diameter sufficient to receive at least the growth module therein and comprising an electrically conductive wire wound on a square, oval or cylindrical-shaped scaffold thereon;
- and
- an electrical conversion device comprising a waveform generator, an amplifier and an antenna configured to generate and convert a pulsating time-varying electromagnetic current into a pulsating overapping or fluctuating alternating ionic magnetic resonance frequency field at one or more modal intervals spanning about 6.5 Hz and ranging from about 7.8 Hz to 59.9 Hz with a filed strength of about 0.01 Gauss to about 10,000 Gauss connected electrically to the electromagnetic chamber.
