Abstract
A bioreactor for cultivating microorganisms and cells of animal or plant origin includes a filter pocket which is arranged on the inner surface of a flexible wall of the bioreactor and which is delimited on the outside by the wall of the bioreactor and on the inside by a filter pocket wall. The inside filter pocket wall is formed at least partially by a filter medium. A spacer is arranged in the filter pocket between the wall of the bioreactor and the filter medium. The spacer has at least one through opening. A connecting portion of the filter medium protrudes through the through opening and is directly connected to the wall of the bioreactor. A method of manufacturing a filter pocket in a bioreactor for cultivating microorganisms and cells of animal or plant origin is also provided herein.
