| 20080213894 | Disposable Tubing Set for Use with a Cell Expansion Apparatus and Method for Sterile Sampling - A disposable apparatus for cell expansion, having at least one bioreactor. The bioreactor has a cellular growth area and a supply area, the cellular growth area being separated from said supply area by a membrane. A fluid recirculation path in fluid communication with the cellular growth area allows for hermetically removing a sample containing cellular matter. This may comprise an elongated tube, or a plurality of parallel tube segments. The parallel tube segments have inflow ends and outflow ends, and the inflow ends are joined at a first common juncture and the outflow ends are joined at a second common juncture. The common junctures may comprise valves. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080220522 | Methods to Control Cell Movement in Hollow Fiber Bioreactors - This invention is directed toward methods of moving cells throughout a hollow fiber bioreactor using fluid flow. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080220523 | CELL EXPANSION SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USE - Cell expansion systems and methods of use are provided. The cell expansion systems generally include a hollow fiber cell growth chamber, and first and second circulation loops (intracapillary loops and extracapillary loops) associated with the interior of the hollow fibers and exterior of the hollow fibers, respectively. Detachable flow circuits and methods of expanding cells are also provided. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080227190 | Cell Expansion Apparatus with Plate Bioreactor - A disposable apparatus for cell expansion, having at least one bioreactor. The bioreactor has a cellular growth area and a supply area, the cellular growth area being adjacent a plate and separated from said supply area by a membrane. The bioreactor comprises a plurality of plates. The plates have a roughened surface or a corrugated surface. At least a sheet of membrane separates adjacent plates. Two sheets between adjacent plates may be separated by a mesh. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080248572 | Bioreactor Surfaces - The present invention relates to treatment of polymeric bioreactor surfaces, to promote the proliferation of adherent cells. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20080254533 | Cell Expansion System and Methods of Use - Cell expansion systems are provided. The cell expansion systems generally include a hollow fiber cell growth chamber, and first and second fluid flow paths associated with the interior of the hollow fibers and exterior of the hollow fibers, respectively. The hollow fibers have a hydrophilic interior surface and a hydrophobic exterior surface. Detachable flow circuits are also provided. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20100042260 | Predictor of When to Harvest Cells Grown in a Bioreactor - This invention relates to a cell expansion system and to a method of determining when to harvest cells from the cell expansion system. | 02-18-2010 |
