Zusammenfassung:System and method for exercising cells and/or tissue in a sealed bioreactor. System includes a cartridge having a stretching means and a means to retain cells on a scaffold mounted within the cartridge during seeding. System includes a bioreactor including a sealed enclosure, the sealed enclosure housing the scaffold and the cartridge, the bioreactor enabling uniform seeding of the scaffold with the cells, the seeding occurring within the sealed enclosure to protect from environmental contamination. The bioreactor system provides a means to supply fresh media to the cells and/or tissue, and a means to remove waste products.
