Abstract
A cell expansion system for culturing and expanding cells in hydrogel tubes is disclosed herein. The cell expansion system includes a cap having an extruder located within the cap and a tubular housing in fluid connection with the cap. The extruder has at least a first and second inlet. The tubular housing includes a cell compatible buffer. The extruder extends from within the cap into the tubular housing. The cell expansion system allows for expanding cells that can significantly reduce the production time and cost, while increasing the production capacity.
