Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a bioreactor assembly comprising a plurality of trays ( 30 ) for holding a cell culture bag, a holder ( 2 ) on which the trays are mounted side by side to form a first series of trays rocking mechanism ( 4 ) for rocking the trays, the rocking mechanism ( 4 ) being operatively connected to each of the trays ( 30 ). The invention also relates to a bioreactor system ( 100 ) comprising at least one bioreactor assembly.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A bioreactor assembly comprising: a plurality of trays configured to hold a plurality of cell culture bags, a holder on which the trays are removably mounted side by side to form a first series of trays of the plurality of trays on a first side of the bioreactor assembly and a second series of trays of the plurality of trays on a second side of the bioreactor assembly opposite the first side; a rocking mechanism that is operatively connected to the first series of trays and second series of trays and configured to rock the trays on each side of the bioreactor assembly, wherein the rocking mechanism comprises at least one motor operatively connected to one or more trays and configured to rock the trays; and at least one control unit, said at least one control unit is positioned above a holding area of the holder central to the first series of trays and second series of trays and is arranged to control the rocking mechanism; wherein the plurality of trays are configured to be disconnected from the rocking mechanism such that the rocking of an individual tray of the plurality of trays is stopped while the remining trays are permitted to continue rocking. 2. The bioreactor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the trays is configured to be removable from the bioreactor assembly. 3. The bioreactor assembly according to claim 2 , further comprising a remover for removing the tray from the bioreactor assembly. 4. The bioreactor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the individual tray after stopping may be removed and/or replaced.
