Rotating Cell Seeder

A heart Valve Cell Seeder

 

The Rotating Cell Seeder is to be used in the development of novel tissue engineered heart valves by allowing for location-specific cell seeding to heart valve roots. The device provides control over rotation style and speed, is autoclavable for repeated use, and provides gas exchange in a sterile in vitro environment.

When partnered with our Platform Heart Valve Bioreactor, you can fully develop and test your patient-specific heart valve. Now is the time to partner with us in developing tissue engineered heart valves!

Components

Rotating Cell Seeder Components
Seeding Chamber
Seeding Chamber

The Seeding Chamber is used to house your scaffold and cells during the seeding process.

Rotating Cradle
Rotating Cradle

The Rotating Cradle can hold up to two seeding chambers for circumferential or end-over-end rotation, with pausing possible at any orientation. For large sample sizes, up to four Rotating Cradles can fit inside most standard incubators.

Control Box
Control Box

The Control Box plus Aptus Rotator Software is used to control rotation speed, duration, and pausing, as well as the sterile gas exchange within each chamber.

MechAnnulus Valve Mount
MechAnnulus Valve Mount

The MechAnnulus Valve Mount TM is a self-adjusting valve holder to allow for simple and efficient mounting. It was specially designed to help grip tissue during assembly, prevent slippage during use, and apply a constant force as the sample shape changes during use. It can be used with bioprosthetic, mechanical, and tissue valves.

Quick Connect Fittings
Quick Connect Fittings

Unlike traditional fittings, our Quick Connect Fittings are a single-piece, quick-action fitting that installs with a simple push. In addition, the lack of threading eliminates the need for traditional tape sealing methods. Its innovative design will help users save time and money, reduce complications, and provide an easier way to obtain a cleaner and more reliable seal. The fittings are available in many sizes, materials, and connection types making them suitable for a variety of applications.

Heart Valve Bioreactor
Heart Valve Bioreactor

The Platform Heart Valve Bioreactor provides the base system used to test and develop heart valves under physiological conditions. This system is used for preconditioning valve scaffolds, pre-clinical testing of tissue development, durability, and hemodynamic compatibility, and the testing of cardiovascular implants on heart valves. Using additional accessories, the bioreactor system can be used to replace early stage animal models or in vitro models for studying valve physiology, pathology, and patient-specific theranostics.

Vascular Bioreactor
Vascular Bioreactor

The Vascular Bioreactor features peristaltic pump technology combined with a highly-developed system of reservoirs, valves, and tubing to create a fully-tunable range of cardiovascular conditions. It can be used for conditioning, decellularization, or re-seeding in an open or sterile environment. This system is available in both standard and scalable versions.

Quick Connect Fittings
Quick Connect Fittings

Aptus Quick Connect Fittings were developed in a bioengineering lab around the ideology of simplifying the installation, changing, and cleaning of connections. Our solution is a single-piece quick-action fitting that installs with a simple push. Since the connection is not threaded, it eliminates the need for traditional tape sealing methods.

MechAnnulus Valve Mount
