Claim:
1. A portable tissue and/or cell culture engineering module, the module comprising; at least one bioreactor, said bioreactor facilitating cell culture and/or tissue engineering functions; a fluid containment system in fluid communication with said at least one bioreactor; a heating and/or mixing chamber to heat and/or mix fluids flowing to said at least one bioreactor; and one or more sensors configured to actively detect environmental conditions and cell metabolic turnover as a function of time with respect to the progression of the cell culture and/or tissue growth in said at least one bioreactor, said one or more sensors operatively generate signals to a central and/or onboard microprocessor to actively monitor and actively adjust the changing environmental conditions responsive to requirements of different stages of the cell culture and/or tissue development until completion of cell culture and/or tissue growth.
