A Tension Bioreactor System

DynaGen bioreactors provide a controllable, 3D environment for stimulating physiological conditions in vitro. The LigaGen
system imparts mechanical tension/compression to a 3D sample. Applications include investigating cell function, modulating
the growth and development of engineered tissues, or acting as a test bed for drug and regenerative medicine technologies.

Chambers
Fabricated out of bioinert, autoclavable materials, the LigaGen bioreactor chamber facilitates oscillatory compressive/tensile
axial stimulation to samples with a large aspect ratio. The chambers can be used with a variety of construct materials from
decellularized tendons and ligaments to polymerized hydrogels. The chamber accommodates samples up to 30 × 3 mm.
Multiple grip styles allow for a wide range of constructs with different material characteristics to be stimulated. A unique
seal provides a mechanical feed-through to the chamber, while facilitating axial motion in a sterile environment with minimal
resistance. Three different chamber designs allow either single sample or multi-sample stimulation. All chambers can be used
with a perfusion system to provide convective media transport around the sample.

Chamber Options
• L30-1X: Single sample per chamber, 30 mm long with 23 mL compartment volume
• L30-4C: Either 2 or 4 samples per chamber with 80 mL compartment volume
• L150-1C: Single sample per chamber, 150 mm long with 71 mL compartment volume
