Abstract:
A Petri dish bioreactor can allow a standard Petri dish to be converted to a microscopically observable bioreactor. A bioreactor can be formed by the compression of a device against the edge of a Petri dish thus creating a sealed isolated chamber. One advantage of this conversion is to provide an inexpensive device that can be used for cell culture, observation, transportation, and storage in the laboratory and clinical setting. Further, by creating a sealed bioreactor chamber accessible by ports, the device can reduce cross contamination and allow for the maintenance of a controlled microenvironment within the bioreactor.

Claim (Index 12):
A bioreactor system with an enhanced seal, comprising:\n a culture plate comprising a sidewall, a closed inferior end, and an open superior end; a first adapter component, the first adapter component comprising a central aperture configured to house the culture plate therein, the first adapter component further comprising an inner ring defining the central aperture, the inner ring configured to contact the sidewall of the culture plate, and the first adapter component further comprising an outer ring comprising a reversible locking element; an arcuate gasket comprising a superior-facing surface, an inferior-facing surface, and lateral surfaces, the inferior-facing surface comprising a preformed concave groove configured to mate with a top peripheral edge of the sidewall of the culture plate within the groove, the superior-facing surface defined by an arcuate shape and located at an opposite side of the arcuate gasket in relation to the inferior-facing surface; and a second adapter component comprising a reversible locking element, at least one port, and an annular ridge defining a circumferential gasket groove, the circumferential groove defining a slot configured to fit the arcuate gasket therein, wherein the bioreactor system is reversibly transformable from an unlocked configuration to a locked configuration, such that an airtight seal within the culture plate is created in the locked configuration.
