TEB1000 Flow Bioreactor Brochure

The TEB1000 bioreactor is conceived to allow the user to create experimental set-ups for cell culture under flow conditions. Moreover the temperature and gas concentration conditions required for cell grow and development, the TEB1000 incorporates two integrated peristaltic pumping systems which can be controlled independently. Up to twenty independent flow channels can be set-up in the TEB1000, notably improving the scalability of your experimental set-ups. All the control systems are fully integrated in the TEB1000 removing the need of using external devices, which results in cleaner, cheaper, easier-to-develop and more effective cultures.

The TEB1000 is available with CO2 control and O2 hypoxic conditions generation features. Moreover, it integrates all the machinery necessary to generate the appropriate environment for cell development including flow conditions for cell including:

  • Culture media flow pumping
  • Temperature control
  • CO2 concentration control
  • O2 concentration control

A culture chamber which holds your scaffold in the desired conditions together with other accessories like tubing or a medium reservoir, are the only things necessary to perform a cell culture experiment under flow conditions.

The fully integrated configuration of TEB1000 Master Unit is able to substitute a large number of equipments frequently used for cell culture in Tissue Engineering, like a CO2 incubators, peristaltic pumps and heaters, since it integrates all their capabilities, allowing a wide variety of experimental set-ups including:

  • Multiple simultaneous experiments
  • Controlled flow profiles for cell stimulation experiments
  • Experiments under hypoxic conditions
