Multiple simultaneous scaffold culture. Improved scalability

Increasing the number of simultaneous experiments may be of crucial importance in those cases in which the scalability of the experiment plays an important role in the obtaining of the desired results.

EBERS bioreactors and chambers allow increasing the number of simultaneous in several different ways. The list below shows some of the feasible configurations that allow developing multiple simultaneous experiments.

Use each pump for a different experiment

Configuring two experiments in the Master Unit taking advantage of the two pumps is the easiest way to carry out two simultaneous experiments.

Moreover, since each of the pumps can be controlled individually, this configuration allow developing two totally different experiments. Nevertheless, this solution admits only two simultaneous experiments, which is not much in principle.

Using multiple pumpheads in each engine

For those applications which need of using the two pumps at the same time, connecting several pumpheads to the same engine may be a feasible solution. Until four pumpheads may be connected to each engine, which allows to multiply the number of simultaneous experiments.

Notice, however, that the flow condition will be identical for those pumpheads connected to the same engine.

Using the low flow pumphead

Several micro-cassettes may be simultaneously inserted this pumphead, which is designed for applications requiring low flow rates. Until five micro-cassettes may be connected to the same pumphead which in turn may be connected to other low flow pumpheads, multiplying the maximal number of simultaneous tube connections.

Using flow distributing devices

In case only a pumphead is used, including a flow distributor device in the circuit may also be a feasible solution to get multiple simultaneous connections. Generally, this devices are custom manufactured to cover the particular demands of each experiment.
