Microfluidic Tissue Development Systems

Inventors: Riccardo Luca Gottardi: Peter Alexander: Bryan Romell: Rocky Sung Chi Tuan

Patent Number: PCT/US2016/055763

Abstract

Disclosed herein are various bioreactor devices and systems for growing cellular material, and related methods of growing cellular material. In some cases, a system can include a bioreactor system having one or more wells with at least one fluidic passageway coupled to each well to feed fluids to biological material being developed inside the well. In some cases, a bioreactor system can include a main body comprising the perimeter of the well and the fluidic passageways, a cover that forms the top of the well and provides optical access into the well, and a base that forms the bottom surface of the well. The cover and base can be attached and detached from the main body to seal the well closed and to physically access the contents of the well.
