Portable perfusion system with integrated incubation and interstitial flow parameters
Summary
A new portable perfusion system (based on the CultureON system) was developed to help grow and maintain engineered tissue constructs (ETCs) within a mobile, biomimetic environment. Existing systems either provide precise control but are too small, require stationary setups with pumps and incubators, or are not suited for ETCs. The new system — FluidON — overcomes these limitations by integrating incubation, enabling microfluidic-scale flow rates, and allowing flexible flow configurations through interchangeable bioreactors.
