Abstract

A cell culture bioreactor has membranes divided into a plurality of zones. The membranes may include perfusion membranes carrying a liquid media and/or gas transfer membranes. The bioreactor has one or more sensors configured to collect data from one or more locations within the bioreactor. The supply of one or more of the gaseous and/or liquid media to a selected zone or zones may be controlled. In some examples, the supply includes a background supply and a selectable incremental supply. The bioreactor may be used to grow cells in suspension. Liquid media circulates within an extra-capillary space of the bioreactor. In some examples, a portion of cells is permitted for a period of time to be restrained within one or more zones of the membranes. Elements of a reactor may be made in a mold. A reactor may be operated in a fed-batch process.

Abstract

A cell culture bioreactor has hollow fiber membranes within an extra-capillary space optionally used to grow cells in suspension. The membranes may include liquid perfusion membranes and/or gas transfer membranes. Liquid medium moves within the extra-capillary space relative to the membranes. The bioreactor may be rotated clockwise and counter- clockwise in a repeated pattern around an axis of rotation passing through the bioreactor. The axis of rotation may be horizontal, pass trough the center of the bioreactor and/or be perpendicular to the membranes. The rotation pattern may include 5 or more reversals of direction and/or decelerations and acceleration (optionally stops and re-starts) in one direction per minute. The bioreactor my be rotated through less than 360 degrees of rotation in one direction and then through less than 360 degrees in the opposite direction. The rotation of the bioreactor may reach a speed in the range of 1 to 25 rpm.
