- check valves 13, 14 are arranged, which prescribe a direction of flow of the cell culture fluid.
- the bioreactor 2 has the following functions:
- the silicone membrane 6 In the idle state, the silicone membrane 6 is arched downward, ie into the lower chamber 3, due to the force of gravity and the cell culture liquid located in the middle chamber 4. If the drive unit 12 generates an overpressure in the lower chamber 3, this overpressure causes a movement of the membrane pump Silicone membrane 6 upwards, ie into the middle chamber 4 and thus a volume reduction of the middle chamber 4 filled with cell culture liquid. According to FIG. 1, this curvature of the silicone membrane 6 causes a pressure on the cell from the middle chamber 4 to the upper chamber 5 Tissue construct 1 exerted so that the cell-tissue construct 1 bulges into the upper chamber 5.
- a negative pressure is generated in the lower chamber 3 by means of the drive unit 12 and the silicone membrane 6 is thereby drawn into the lower chamber 3.
- the resulting increase in volume in the middle chamber 4 ensures that cell culture fluid is drawn in from the reservoir 15 via one of the two bores 41, 42.
- Cell culture fluid flows along the underside of the cell-tissue construct 1 or patch tissue through the predetermined flow direction and the bores 41, 42 directed towards the underside of the cell-tissue construct 1 and bulges the cell-tissue construct downwards the middle chamber 4 according to FIG. 2 by.
- the cycle starts again when the drive unit 12 again generates an overpressure in the lower chamber 3 and as a result causes the silicone membrane 6 to bulge into the middle chamber 4.
- the cell-tissue construct 1 bulges into the upper chamber 5 or middle chamber 4 and is exposed in parallel to a pulsatile flow of the cell culture liquid which, as a result of the non-return flaps 13, 14 according to FIG Cell tissue construct 1 flows along. In this way, the cell-tissue construct is exposed to both mechanical (pressure) stress and a pulsatile flow.
- the cell culture liquid located in the upper chamber 5 serves to moisten the carrier material and is at certain intervals via the bores 72 to 74 and 81 sucked up to 83 in the support cover 8 or in the cover surface 71 of the cylindrical stamp 7 and exchanged.
