# Modular Bioreactor

contact: banovic\@irnas.eu | bostjan\@irnas.eu

## The purpose

Modular bioreactor is a bioreactor system platform used as **a baseline for building custom technological solutions for scientific and industrial research applications** in the fields of **cell culture, clean meat, tissue engineering** and similar. Through creation of baseline platforms of this sort, [IRNAS](https://irnas.eu) can achieve rapid engineering of **solutions to support and automate processes with custom technological solutions, tuned exactly to the requirements of a specific use case**.

With interest to expand a pool of researchers that are willing to explore what is achievable with custom lab technology, the platform design is [published open source](https://github.com/IRNAS/newHarvest-modular-bioreactor/).

## Basic Description

The basic platform comprises the **cell incubator,  perfusion tray and culture dish**. There is a wide range of additional modules and components available that serve purposes of advanced or more complex operation (such as de-bubblers, custom culture dish, scaled-up systems with multiple perfusion loops etc.).
