Abstract:
The efficient production of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from adherent cells in vitro can be challenging when using conventional culture flasks. Issues such as low cell density leading to low EV yield, and the inability to completely remove bovine serum EVs without starvation contribute to this challenge. By comparison, the two-chamber CELLine adherent bioreactor can produce significantly more EVs with improved time, space, and resource efficiency. Furthermore, it is highly accessible and can continually produce EVs using long term cultures without the need for passaging. Lastly, the 10 kDa semipermeable, cellulose acetate membrane separating the cell and media chambers allows for the continual use of bovine serum in the media chamber while preventing bovine EVs from contaminating the conditioned media.
