Abstract
The populating method for populating a substrate with living cells provides a population with at least one populating phase and at least one perfusion phase. During the populating phase the substrate can be held in contact with the cell suspension by continuous rotation in various spatial arrangements. The populating device of the invention ( ) comprises a rollable container ( ) and a removable insert in it with a means ( ) for inserting the substrate being populated, such as a plastic or collagen matrix. The insert is designed so that in interaction with the inserted substrate, two liquid-tight chambers are formed within the container on opposite sides of the inserted substrate, so as to allow separate populating of both sides of the substrate. The container have liquid inlets and outlets ( ) and may also have gas inlets and outlets. The rollable populating reactor ( ) is inserted into a roller cabinet for certain phases of the populating.
