Bioreactor Design and Characterization. Thin channel acrylic flow system design with internal cross-section of 4.0 cm × 0.1 cm. Experimental surfaces were placed into individual 1 cm2 cut-outs in the lower channel surface so that cell-seeded surfaces were flushed with the wall. Channel was connected in series with a pulsatile pump head and two media reservoirs with gas exchange.
