Plantform™ bioreactor. (A) The pump is off and the liquid medium is in the lower compartment, separate from the explants, (B) the pump impulses air through the central inlet filter, (C) the overpressure moves the medium up and cause immersion of the explants, as well as air expulsion through the outlet filter. When the pump is off, the medium goes down by gravity, and (D) additional aerations: the pump impulses air through any of the lateral inlet filters. The air circulates through the chamber containing the explants, but does not cause translocation of the medium
