Assembled laminar flow bioreactor (LFB). Bioreactor is composed by a mixing chamber filled with a complete culture media with 5% of Dextran, a cell culture chamber, and a peristaltic pump. All the components were connected in a closed loop and put in an incubator to preserve temperature (37°C) and CO2 concentration in air (5%).
