The apparatuses described herein relate to preparation of a meat product. Apparatuses, systems comprising the apparatuses, and methods of making and use the systems and apparatuses are described herein. These are useful for controlling one or more of growth on and separation of a meat product from an enclosed substrate. The apparatuses and systems are configured to receive fluid and grow the meat product and/or separate the meat product from the substrate in a scalable manner.

Apparatuses and systems for preparing a meat product

Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods for sterilization. In some variations, a method of sterilizing a bioreactor system may comprise circulating a sterilant in a bioreactor and an enclosed vessel in fluidic communication with the bioreactor. The enclosed vessel may comprise cell culture media. The sterilant may be circulated for a dwell time sufficient to sterilize at least one of the bioreactor, the vessel, and the cell culture media.

Systems, devices, and methods for sterilizing bioreactors and culture media

This disclosure describes methods for growing cells in a controlled environment in a growing room, transporting the cells to a harvest room, and removing the cells from the controlled environment in the harvest room. The disclosed method can limit exposure of cells to contaminants by maintaining a controlled environment through cell growth and additional processing. For instance, the cells may be washed and cooled within the controlled environment. The cells are transferred to a harvest room where they are harvested and removed from the controlled environment.

Harvesting cell-based meat

An assembly for delivering a fluid includes a fluid dispenser connected to a fluid supply conduit. The fluid dispenser includes a fluid outlet positioned along a length of the fluid dispenser. The fluid outlet is configured to deliver the fluid from the fluid supply conduit at a flow rate that varies along the length of the fluid dispenser.

Fluid dispenser for recovering material from a surface

The substrates, systems, and methods described herein relate to textured substrates for preparing a comestible meat product. Substrates and methods are described herein for controlling one or more of growth, adhesion, retention, and/or release of cells (e.g., of a cell sheet) on or from the surface of the substrate. A method of preparing a comestible meat product may include applying a plurality of non-human cells to at least one patterned texture substrate, growing the cells on the patterned texture substrate to form the comestible meat product, and separating the comestible meat product from the patterned texture substrate. The patterned texture allows for improved growth, adhesion, retention, and/or release of cells as compared to another surface not comprising the patterned texture. In some embodiments, the cell culture substrate surfaces include a plurality of regions corresponding to a plurality of patterned textures.
