Abstract:
1. A hybrid bioreactor for cell culture, comprising: a plurality of reactor tube assemblies; a compressive strain motor; a ball screw coupled to be operated in conjunction with the compressive strain motor; an upper anchor mount vertically reciprocated while being combined with the ball screw and provided with a plurality of compressive strain anchors holding lower ends of the reactor tube assemblies, wherein each of the compressive strain anchors comprises a fitting rod provided with a lower flange part having an upwardly extending fitting groove, a center flange part supporting a spring and an upper flange part preventing from being removed, an upper support block fastened to the upper anchor mount through a bearing and provided with a guide hole to allow the fitting rod to reciprocate through the upper anchor mount, a support housing provided with a through hole at the upper end thereof to allow the fitting rod to pass through the through hole and attached to the upper surface of the upper support block at the lower end brim thereof, and a support spring placed between the center flange part and an upper part of the support housing; a lower anchor mount adapted to hold lower ends of the reactor tube assemblies and provided with a plurality of toothed anchors on outer surface of which teeth are formed; a shear strain motor; and power transmitting means for transmitting a rotating force of the shear strain motor to the plurality of toothed anchors.
