An automated carousel and system configured for translationally moving a plurality of biological production units in unison along a vertical frame while maintaining a precise alignment of each of the biological production units relative to gravity, and simultaneously providing independent dynamic adjustment of the axial orientation of each of the plurality of biological production units relative to gravity. The automated carousel may be adapted for use with a variety of biological production units supporting cell culture and/or tissue engineering systems in various clinical and laboratory settings and provides for ergonomic use thereof.

Carousel for modular biologic production units

An automated cell culture and tissue engineering system comprising defined and separate environmental zones provide for increased control and maintenance of the internal environment of the system such that the temperature, air flow and gases surrounding the bioreactor module form one zone that is maintained separately to a second zone formed surrounding the reagent fluid reservoir. The system further comprises means for elimination and/or management of condensation within the second zone of the system.

Cell culture and tissue engineering systems with controlled environmental zones

The invention is an automated advanced tissue engineering system that comprises a housing in which one or more tissue engineering modules are accommodated together with a central microprocessor that controls functioning of the tissue engineering modules. In one embodiment, the tissue engineering module comprises a housing supporting one or more bioreactor chamber assemblies and a fluid reservoir operationally engageable with the housing. The bioreactor chamber assemblies may be selected depending on the end product option desired and may include, for example, a cell therapy bioreactor chamber, a single implant bioreactor chamber and a multiple (mosaic) implant bioreactor chamber.
