Introduction The current method of cell expansion using T25 flasks for human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have been proven to be extremely time and space consuming‚ labour intensive and difficult for scale-up (Minimal of 200 T25 flasks needed). It is estimated 2.8x108 - 5.6x108 undifferentiated hESCs are required by the end of the expansion stage for the process to work‚ as at least 5x107 cells of well differentiated post-mitotic Nrl+/Crx+ precursors are needed for transplant (Maclaren et al‚ 2006)

Thermal Expansion Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature‚ through heat transfer. The coefficient of thermal expansion describes how the size of an object changes with a change in temperature. Specifically‚ it measures the fractional change in size per degree change in temperature at a constant pressure. Several types of coefficients have been developed: volumetric‚ area‚ and linear. This is used depending on the particular application
