Abstract
Disclosed are bioreactor devices, systems and methods. A bioreactor system can include one or more bioreactor modules that can be individually controllable and identifiable. A bioreactor module can be connected to one or more functional modules such as a pump module, a stimulation signal generation module, a motor module, a mechanical transmission module, a gas exchange module, a temperature module, a humidity module and/or a COmodule, among others. The bioreactor and functional modules can include standard or universal connectors to facilitate connection and movement of modules. The bioreactor system can be controlled and/or monitored by a controller that can individually identify and control each connected module and that can be adapted to collect signal data from sensors embedded in any of the modules.
