CartiGen C9-x Bioreactor Chamber (http://www.tissuegrowth.com/prod_cartilage.cfm):  The CartiGen Bioreactor chamber for tissue research was developed to apply axial stimulation to multiple disc shaped samples.  This chamber includes modifications to the standard to accommodate directed sample perfusion.  Designed for use with the TC Mechanical Stimulator, it includes the following features软骨力学生物反应器组织工程

·          Bioreactor chamber providing oscillatory compressive stimulation of up to 9 tissue samples.  Remaining 3 sample wells will be modified to accommodate perfusion loop and will not be available for sample placement.

·          Chambers can be populated with fewer than 9 samples

·          Maximum sample size - 8mm diameter by 5mm thick

·          All chamber components are bio-inert and of materials that can be steam sterilized at 121 ºC and 17 - 20 psi.

·          Each well holds up to 2ml of media

·          Each chamber can be adapted to deliver specific static compression for control samples

·          Unique diaphragm seal enables mechanical motion input to the sample compartment while preserving the biological environment and motion fidelity.

·          Perfusion Modification: Porous platen integrated with bottom of the chamber permits perfusion through the constructs. Flow is directed but not confined through the construct.软骨力学生物反应器组织工程
