Description

This is a 3d print derivation of a previous custom made stainless steel biochamber (Whitney, 2012) that we use to sandwich a polyester membrane to grow scaffold free cartilage sheets. The single chamber version here allows for more conditions to be tested with a lower volume of media than previous models.
