Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems, apparatuses, devices and methods for tissue cultivating. Such systems may comprise a plurality of bioreactors, each bioreactor comprising a bag having a mandrel tube arranged therein, and a fluid management system for managing fluid flow among the plurality of bioreactors. The fluid management system can include at least one intra-luminal pump, configured to flow intra-luminal fluid in a first direction in the bioreactors, at least one media pump, configured to flow biomedia fluid in the bioreactors in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a plurality of valves and/or clamps to effect at least one of filling, flowing, cessation of flow, and draining of at least one of the intra-luminal fluid and biomedia fluid tubes among the bioreactors.
