A New Multifunctional Bioreactor Based on Linear Motor

Article Preview

Abstract:

A bioreactor has provided a new way for the biomedical tissue engineering, and it is a device system that simulates the metabolism and movement of organisms to obtain target product in vitro. By reference and study of the bioreactors, based on the linear motor of high-precision and high-frequency characteristics, we have designed a bioreactor with varieties of biomechanical functions by using CAD design software, that is especially used in the tissue engineering for mechanical stimulation. The bioreactor can not only load on the cultures under rolling, sliding or their combination as well as tension and compression, but also on the cultures under high-frequency and dual-frequency forces. It will provide a more effective research platform for tissue culture and regeneration.
