Patent ID: 8865460

Claim:
A 3D bioreactor system comprising: a first module independently defining a first culture chamber therein, a first inlet, and a first outlet, the first inlet and first outlet providing a passage for a first fluid flow through said first culture chamber, said first culture chamber being formed of a material to discourage cellular attachment to said first culture chamber; a second module independently defining a second culture chamber therein, a second inlet, and a second outlet, the second inlet and second outlet providing a second fluid flow through said second culture chamber, said second culture chamber being formed of a material to discourage cellular attachment to said second culture chamber; a semi-permeable membrane locatable between said first culture chamber of said first module and said second culture chamber of said second module, wherein said semi-permeable membrane has a porosity to allow passage of cellular expression products through said semi-permeable membrane and to prevent passage of cells through said semi-permeable membrane, said semi-permeable membrane being formed of a material to discourage cellular attachment to said semi-permeable membrane; and a cellular anchorage locatable in said first culture chamber.
