Abstract

A cell growing device for in vitro cell population growth includes at least one hollow fiber cartridge having a plurality of capillaries at least one of which is selectively permeable. The flow of media out of a lumen of the cartridge is substantially blocked off thereby forcing media flowing into the lumen via an inflow opening to permeate across the capillaries of the cartridge and into the extracapillary space thereof.
