I am trying to grow hepatocytes (HepG2 cell line) on a cryogel based perfusion bioreactor. I generally sterilise the scaffold before seeding the cells onto it and the bioreactor design housing this scaffold is completely leak proof. I also autoclave all the spare parts and tubings required in the system and all the handling is done under sterile conditions. Yet, after running for a day, the media reservoir changes to yellow and there is bacterial contamination in it. Is there something I am not doing right? Or something I am missing out? Please help with your suggestions
