Abstract

A multi-layer microfluidic bioreactor is used in methods for culturing cells. A grooved semipermeable substrate can capture and grow cells using perfusion culture methods. Microfluidic geometry directs flow over grooves for cell expansion and along grooves for cell harvesting. The bioreactor and methods can be optimized for high density and automated processing for growth of cells.
