(A) Image of the High Aspect Rotating Vessel (HARV) attached to the rotating/aerating platform and controller (reproduced with permission from Synthecon Inc., Houston, TX). (B) Diagram of the HARV bioreactor vessel with samples ports (a.), front plate (b), 50 ml culture chamber (c), gas permeable membrane (d), and rotator hub base (e) indicated. (C) Low-shear modeled microgravity and (D) control orientations of HARV bioreactors employed for culture growth in these experiments. All cultures were grown at 37°C and HARV rotation was 25 rpm.
