1. A computer program product in a bioreactor system for ex vivo maintenance, and growth of mammalian cells, comprising:

  • a transportable cassette having a gas chamber and cell growth chamber, environmental conditions in said cell growth chamber being dominated by a media flowing therethrough and environmental conditions in said gas chamber being dominated by a gas flowing therethrough, said transportable cassette havinga computer storage medium encoded with a computer code mechanism that when executed by a processor in the bioreactor system and external to the transportable cassette controls environmental conditions in a bioreactor portion of the system to be suitable for the ex vivo maintenance and growth of the mammalian cells, said computer program code mechanism including,a media flow code mechanism having a media flow rate parameter embedded therein and being accessible to said processor when maintaining a predetermined media flow rate through the cell growth chamber so as to maintain the environmental conditions to be suitable for the maintenance and growth of the mammalian cells.
