Growing cell based meat requires the following inputs:
1. Muscle Pre-Cursor Cells (starting cells taken from the animal to replicate)
2. Scaffold (a supportive structure for the cells to grow)
3. Bioreactor
4. Cell Culture Medium (a growth medium i.e. food)
A bioreactor is an aseptic environment with a controlled temperature and PH that supports cell proliferation. A bioreactor enables cell based meat to be produced on a large scale and a clean, stable environment for the cells to grow.
