Abstract
An automated cell culturing device, which expands, detaches and prepares cells, ready to be implanted in vivo is disclosed. The device is composed by a multi-layered cell culture chamber, a cell preparation chamber, and critical parameters control units which automatically drive the cell culture medium circulation, change and refill. The device according to the invention is characterized in that all the components contacting cells and culture medium constitute a totally disposable 'cartridge' in order to avoid cross-contamination and improve safety. The device is particularly useful for expanding and preparing mesenchymal stem cells for osteoarthritis (OA) therapy, and for other cell based therapies in mammals.
