Bioreactor Setup. A porous PEVA scaffold (A) was seeded with Caco-2 cells and fitted into the assembled 3-D printed bioreactor vessel (B) using the o-rings to seal it in place. After connection to influent and effluent tubing and the peristaltic pump, the device is placed inside the CO2 incubator for 3–5 weeks (C). TEER measurements were taken daily by connecting the silver wires to chopstick electrodes and then to a voltohmmeter.
