Miniature Bioreactor System for Cell Culture
A NASA invention available to explore as a licensing opportunity.
About this technology
Overview
Scientists at the NASA Johnson Space Center and the University of Houston have developed a miniature bioreactor system for varied term cell culturing and sampling. The miniature bioreactor allows for continuous and simultaneous short, moderate, or long-term cell culturing of several types of cells and tissues. The invention can be used to study cell cultures and their response to stressors such as pharmaceuticals, hypoxia, pathogens, and more. The bioreactor is ideally suited for periodic cell harvesting and medium processing for secreted cellular components. The miniature bioreactor system has an existing prototype and an initial proof of concept has been completed. The miniature bioreactor system is available for licensing. This NASA Technology is available for your company to license and develop into a commercial product. NASA does not manufacture products for commercial sale.
