Abstract
A cell culture apparatus includes cell culture units having cell culture chambers, each with at least one manifold. The manifold connects the cell culture unit to a fluid flow channel. The manifold has a dam which allows liquid to pool in the manifold and allows for the creation of an airspace in the manifold, which reduces hydrostatic pressure inside the apparatus and enables the stacking of multiple cell culture units. Embodiments include cascading manifolds, manifolds having reservoirs, and manifolds having valves.
