An automated cell culture system includes a cell culture reactor including a housing; a fluidic circuit for cell culture media, the fluidic circuit disposed in an interior of the housing. The fluidic circuit includes a culture vessel for culturing cells in the cell culture media, a reservoir for the cell culture media, the reservoir fluidically connected to the culture vessel, and a pump configured to pump the cell culture media in the fluidic circuit. The automated cell culture system includes one or more sensors disposed in the interior of the housing, each sensor configured to detect a parameter of one or more of (1) the cell culture media in the fluidic circuit and (2) an environment in the interior of the housing; and a computing device configured to automatically control operation of the cell culture reactor based on one or more of the detected parameters. |
