    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of cell culture, which is a laboratory process used primarily for the growth, propagation, and production of cells for analysis and the production and harvesting of cell products. The present invention comprises functionalized and/or engineered hydrogel microcarriers that exhibit any or all of the following properties: controllable buoyancy, ferro- or paramagnetism, molecular or fabricated reporting elements, and optical clarity. The microcarriers are used in a bioreactor that employs external forces to control said microcarrier kinetic energy and translational or positional orientation in order to facilitate cell growth and/or cellular analysis. The bioreactor can be part of an automated system that employs any or all of the following; a microcarrrier manufacturing method, a monitoring method, a cell culture method, and an analytical method. Either a single bioreactor or a plurality of bioreactors are used in the automated system to enable cell culture and analysis with a minimum of human intervention.

    Abstract: A method for proliferating a hepatitis virus such as HCV and an apparatus therefor. A method of proliferating cells (for example, hepatocytes), which are less adhesive to a carrier, in a large amount over a long time. More particularly, the above method comprises infecting hepatocytes, which are maintained in a radial flow type hepatocyte bioreactor consisting of a main bioreactor unit containing the hepatocytes carried on a particulate porous carrier and a liquid culture medium flown from the periphery of the main bioreactor unit toward the center thereof, with a hepatitis virus; continuously flowing the liquid culture medium from the periphery of the main bioreactor unit toward the center thereof; and thus proliferating the hepatitis virus in the hepatocytes thus infected.

    Abstract: A rapid automated method for identifying biologically active substances by their effect on living cells comprises the steps: a) culturing cells on/within a matrix that fluidically can be controlled; b) loading the cells with luminescent chemical molecules or having them previously transfected with recombinant molecules having luminescent properties; c) injecting a well defined volume of the cell carrying matrix suspension into a flow fluid which transports the suspension into a flow chamber having a wall through which the content of said flow chamber may be monitored; d) perifusing the cells with a sample containing a potentially biologically active substance; e) measuring the luminescence response of the content in the flow chamber; f) flushing the flow chamber to make it ready for a new testing cycle.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a bioreactor with immobilized lactic acid bacteria which is characterized in that the bacteria are fixed on the surface of a substantially non-compressible carrier which is composed of a continuous, porous matrix or of dimpled or reticular porous particles, the matrix or the particles having a structure of a loosely associated plurality of microparticles or microfibers which are bound together chemically, adhesively or mechanically at least at some contact points between the individual microparticles or microfibers. Preferably the microparticles or microfibers comprise or consist of a material, preferably a resin, having anion exchanger capability. A preferred embodiment of the carrier includes DEAE-cellulose, the microparticles and microfibers being agglomerated with polystyrene. The above bioreactor can be applied in the large-scale production of products resulting from the metabolism of lactic acid bacteria and in the modification of the composition of the feedstream.

    Abstract: Perfusive matrices (10) useful in immobilized enzyme reactors (IMERs) are disclosed. The matrices define first and second interconnected sets of pores and an intraparticle high surface area (18) capable of immobilizing enzymes, in fluid communication with the second set of pores. The first and second sets of pores are embodied, for example, as the interstices (12) among particles and throughpores (14) within the particles. The particles also contain diffusive transport pores (16). The dimensions of the first and second sets of pores are such that, at fluid flow rates and pressure drops practical for immobilized enzyme reactions, convective flow occurs in both pore sets, and the convective flow rate exceeds the rate of diffusion of the substrate and product to and from immobilized enzymes within the particles. This approach allows rapid enzyme loading and substrate conversion reactions at optimal catalytic flow rates.
