a Spinner flask: Scaffolds are threaded through needles within a glass container. A magnetic stirrer is used to stir the medium throughout the construct. b Rotating wall vessel: Scaffold constructs are placed in a cylindrical bioreactor filled with medium. The bioreactor is rotated along the horizontal axis to stir the medium c Perfusion bioreactors: Medium is pumped around a circuit by a peristaltic pump. The media passes through the bioreactor containing the scaffold construct. The set up can be recirculating or single pass
