CartiGen C10-12 Bioreactor Chamber （http://www.tissuegrowth.com/prod_cartilage.cfm）:  The CartiGen bioreactor chamber for tissue research was designed to apply oscillatory compressive stimulation to multiple disc shaped samples.  Designed for use with the TC mechanical stimulator, it includes the following features:

·          Bioreactor chamber provides oscillatory compressive stimulation of up to 12 samples

·          Chambers can be populated with fewer than 12 samples

·          Maximum sample size: 8 mm diameter by 5 mm thick

·          All chamber components are bio-inert and of materials that can be steam sterilized at 121 ºC and 17-20 psi.

·          Chamber can be customized for individual sample wells to accommodate different media conditions

·          Each well holds up to 2 ml of media

·          Each chamber can be adapted to deliver specific static compression for control samples.

·          Unique bellows seal enables mechanical motion input to the sample compartment while preserving the biological environment and motion fidelity. 

·          Each chamber accommodates viewing of the construct from the bottom via an inverted confocal microscope.
