Photos of cells growing in hollow fibre bioreactor
MSCs growing as 3D nodules in 20ml hollow fibre bioreactor
Fibres are approx 200µm in diameter. The distance between adjacent fibres is also about 200µm. Primary MSCs don’t proliferate very much, if at all, in HFBR culture.

Hybridomas oozing out of an opened hollow fibre bioreactor cartridge
Normally you wouldn’t open a cartridge like this! It was done just to show how hybridoma density can easily exceed 1E+9 in a HFBR.
