Abstract We have designed and evaluated a radial-flow bioreactor for three-dimensional liver carcinoma
cell culture on a new porous coated scaffold. We designed a culture chamber where a radial flow of culture medium was continuously delivered through it. Once this system was established, flow was simulated using flow dynamics software based on numeric methods to solve Navier-Stockes flow equations. Perfusion within cell culture
scaffolds was simulated using a flow velocity of 7 mL/min and found that cell culture medium was distributed
unhindered in the bioreactor chamber. Afterwards, the bioreactor was built according to the simulated design More >
