The invention provides systems, modules,
bioreactor and methods for the automated culture, proliferation, differentiation, production and maintenance of
tissue engineered products. In one aspect is an automated
tissue engineering system comprising a housing, at least one
bioreactor supported by the housing, the
bioreactor facilitating physiological
cellular functions and / or the generation of one or more tissue constructs from
cell and / or tissue sources. A fluid containment
system is supported by the housing and is in fluid communication with the bioreactor. One or more sensors are associated with one or more of the housing, bioreactor or fluid containment
system for monitoring parameters related to the physiological
cellular functions and / or generation of tissue constructs; and a
microprocessor linked to one or more of the sensors. The systems, methods and products of the invention find use in various clinical and laboratory settings.
