| Overview |
| The Cell Culture Module (CCM) is a hardware unit designed specifically to aid in the study of microgravity effects at the cellular level. It uses hollow fiber bioreactor cartridges as the basic cell support structure and allows controlled physiologic maintenance, manipulation, and testing of cellular biology. Crew interaction involves in-flight activation, temperature recording twice per day, and deactivation. |
