Method of cultivating functioning cells from organs, suitable carriers and apparatus therefor

摘要

Aeration tube module for fermenters comprises a tubular membrane (9) which is plugged (10) at its lower end. Inside, on the axis, a narrow, rigid gas tube (13) has ≥ 1 passage (14) at the lower end and a gas supply or removal connection at the top. There is a similar connection to the top interior of the membrane and, on the inner surface of the membrane, there is a flexible support.Connections may be integrated into the reactor cover at the top as required for gas distribution and collection. Also claimed are a suitable fluidised bed arrangement and a fluidised bed reactor.
