A system and method for growing and maintaining biological material including producing a protein associated with the tissue, selecting cells associated with the tissue, expanding the cells, creating at least one tissue bio-ink including the expanded cells, printing the at least one tissue bio-ink in at least one tissue growth medium mixture, growing the tissue from the printed at least one tissue bio-ink, and maintaining viability of the tissue.

System and method for creating tissue

System and method for providing biocompatible, nutrient filled media to the Human Cells, Tissues, and cellular and tissue-based Products (HCT/P) while removing wastes. The present teachings provide for sensing the characteristics of the media, and modifying the characteristics when necessary. The present teachings can also provide components that can provide fluid pumping integrated with fluid gas exchange, and sensing of fluid characteristics at consistent times during the fluid flow cycle. System and method control multiple bioreactors from a centralized media reservoir, while fluidically isolating the bioreactors from cross-contamination.

System and method for centralized fluid management and culture control

A transfer device designed to extract an amorphous or semi-solid structure, tissue, or construct from supporting media while maintaining the spatial integrity/organizational architecture thereof. The transfer device can include a controller, an actuator assembly, a plunger, and a needle. The controller can move the transfer device and the plunger independently.

System and method for transferring tissue

Manufacturing system and method for creating multiple tissue constructs from cells. System can include a thaw subsystem (if the cells are provided in a frozen state), an expansion subsystem, a concentration subsystem, and a tissue maturation subsystem. Each of these subsystems is modular and can be reconfigured, and the process can be repeated depending on the specific tissue process being implemented. Multiple tissue types can be combined in multiple bioreactors. The activities of multiple bioreactors can be coordinated and controlled in an automated manner by a supervisor controller. The supervisor controller can receive user input at the start of the process, and can manage the process henceforth, alerting the user if user actions are required.
