Schematic of developed bioreactor. A: Bioreactor including T-flask, substrate, voice-coil actuator, linear stepper motors, rotary stepper motors, and scissor bars. B: Experimental setup, with static attachment in place of stepper motors. Non-vibrated controls can also be seen. C: Bioreactor within incubator. Wave-form generator is next to the incubator, sitting on top of the power amplifier. (Reprinted from Gaston J., Rios B.Q., Bartlett R., et al (2011).
