Application: Modular fixed-bed bioreactor systems and methods of using the same (Patent ID: US20240002768A1)
The patent filed by Corning Inc. describes a fixed-bed bioreactor system for culturing cells, consisting of multiple cell culture subunits with distribution plates supporting cell culture substrates, inlets, and outlets for distributing cells, media, nutrients, and reagents uniformly. The system also includes input lines for supplying the necessary components to the subunits. The design allows for scalability and modularity, with the subunits being individually addable or removable from a vessel housing them, which can accommodate a variable number of subunits. The cell culture substrate can be made of polymer with specific height requirements and features to enhance fluid permeability.
The fixed-bed bioreactor system's unique features include a vessel for housing modular cell culture subunits, a distribution plate design with central plate bores for input line passage, and a cell culture substrate made of dissolvable foam scaffold or structurally defined porous materials like molded polymer lattice or 3D-printed polymer lattice sheets. The system aims to provide a platform for efficient and uniform cell culture growth, with the substrate having a substantially uniform porosity to support cell growth effectively. Overall, the patent outlines a versatile and scalable bioreactor system for cell culture applications, offering flexibility in design and substrate materials to optimize cell culture conditions and productivity.
