Abstract

An improved hollow fiber bioreactor system is disclosed that includes an arrangement for removing the plasticizer that is typically found within the hollow fibers of hollow fiber cartridges so as to prevent this material from contaminating the nutrient fluid. The plasticizer is removed without jeopardizing sterility of the bioreactor.
