    摘要: A cell suspension treatment apparatus has a circulation circuit and a filling liquid supply source that supplies a filling liquid to the circulation circuit. The circulation circuit includes a hollow fiber membrane filter, a reservoir, a pump that is provided on a downstream side of the reservoir and on an upstream side of the hollow fiber membrane filter, and a valve that is provided on the downstream side of the reservoir and on an upstream side of the pump. The filling liquid supply source is connected to a portion of the circulation circuit between the first valve and the pump. After the concentrated cell suspension is stored in the reservoir, in a state where the valve is closed and the pump is driven, the filling liquid supply source starts supplying the filling liquid to the circulation circuit to push the cell suspension, which remains in a portion of the circulation circuit from the pump to the inlet port of the reservoir, to flow toward the reservoir by the filling liquid.

    摘要: Methods of production and apparatuses for production for stably producing healthy and functional platelets, and methods for determining operating conditions of an apparatus for producing platelets are provided. The present invention relates to methods of production comprising a step of culturing megakaryocytes in a platelet production medium C, wherein the step of culturing comprises a step of stirring a medium C in containers 1, 4 using stirring mechanisms 2, 5. In one method of production, the step of stirring comprises reciprocating stirring blades 21, 24 in the stirring mechanisms 2, 24 such that any of predetermined turbulent energy, shearing stresses, or Kolmogorov scale is produced, in the medium C. In another method of production, the step of stirring comprises pivoting a stirring blade 51 in the stirring mechanism 5 wherein a plurality of stationary members 53 is placed therearound in a bottom region 4e of the container 4 such that the step of stirring produces turbulence in the medium C. The present invention also relates to apparatuses for production for carrying out the method of production. The present invention also relates to a method for determining operating conditions of an apparatus for producing platelets.
