Abstract
A system and method for automated and closed cell culture system. The system includes a disposable assembly, actuators, sensors, software/firmware and smart device App. The disposable includes fresh media, drug or reagents containers, waste container, sample out containers, cell culture flask, well, bag or bioreactor and active or passive pumping elements. The system is expanded to multiple containers cell or organ processing. In all these precisely controlling the fluids are achieved by interdigitated differential capacitance measurements. The system has provision for imaging, machine vision control, controlled over the internet, volume metering and can use wide variety of pumps for actuation. The system is programmed to perform cGMP protocols and operated as a portable instrument.
