Some embodiments include a system having a support structure configured to mechanically support a first bioreactor. The support structure can have a first frame and a second frame together being configured to mechanically support the first bioreactor in interposition between the first frame and the second frame. The first frame can maintain a first set point temperature of the first bioreactor through an exchange of thermal energy between the first frame and the first bioreactor when the first bioreactor is vitally supporting one or more first microorganisms and when the support structure is mechanically supporting the first bioreactor. Other embodiments of related systems and methods are also disclosed.

Flexible bioreactor and support structure system

Some embodiments include a method. The method can include: conducting a first sterilization of an assembled bioreactor; after conducting the first sterilization of the assembled bioreactor, vitally supporting one or more first microorganisms with the assembled bioreactor; after vitally supporting the one or more first microorganisms with the assembled bioreactor, removing the one or more first microorganisms from the assembled bioreactor; after removing the one or more first microorganisms from the assembled bioreactor, gathering up the assembled bioreactor; after gathering up the assembled bioreactor, conducting a second sterilization of the assembled bioreactor; and after conducting the second sterilization of the assembled bioreactor, vitally supporting one or more second microorganisms with the assembled bioreactor. Other embodiments of related systems and methods are also disclosed.

Bioreactor sterilization method for multiple uses

Some embodiments include a method. The method can include: inoculating a bioreactor with one or more first microorganisms and a first fluidic support medium, the bioreactor having one or more bioreactor walls at least partially enclosing a bioreactor cavity, being configured to be at least one of folded up or rolled up, and being sterile when the bioreactor is inoculated with the one or more first microorganisms, the one or more bioreactor walls having at least one bioreactor wall material, and the at least one bioreactor wall material being flexible and at least partially transparent; and vitally supporting the one or more first microorganisms with the bioreactor, a supply of light, and a supply of organic carbon. Other embodiments of related systems and methods are also disclosed.
