Abstract: A cell culture system for culturing cells is provided. The cell culture system including a cell culture vessel with a cell culture chamber for culturing cells, an inlet through which liquid can flow for filling the cell culture vessel, and an outlet through which fluid can exit the cell culture vessel. The system also includes at least one fill sensor arranged to detect liquid within the cell culture vessel reaching a fill level at a predetermined position of the cell culture vessel during filling of the cell culture vessel, where the at least one fill sensor can generate a detection signal when liquid within the cell culture vessel reaches the fill level. Also included is an actuator to change an orientation of the cell culture vessel in response to the detection signal.

Abstract: A sensing cell culture vessel having one or more sensors on or in the vessel is configured to collect readings of various parameters or characteristics of a cell culture located within the sensing cell culture vessel and transmit the readings. The sensing cell culture vessels may be accompanied by a sensing plate having means for reading the one or more sensors and transmitting the one or more sensors to a server hosting electronic lab notebook for analyzing and storage of the readings. Sensing plates may further be equipped with cameras for imaging cell cultures located in the sensing cell culture vessels and transmitting the images to the server hosting the electronic lab notebook for analyzing and storage of the images. Embodiments of the invention allow for the continuous and automatic monitoring of cell cultures.

Abstract: A pipette structure (160B) includes first and second body sections (164, 166) connected at a junction and including first and second fluid passages, respectively, with the pipette structure including (i) a bellows joint (165) permitting pivotal movement between the first and second body sections (164, 165), and/or (ii) the second fluid passage of the second body section includes greater width dimension at a sample introduction end than a width dimension at the junction. Such a pipette structure may be embodied in a unitary measuring pipette or an extension tip device for a measuring pipette. A method is provided for transferring material between an interior of a cell culture housing that includes a structured surface defining an array of microwells suitable for three-dimensional culture of multi-cell aggregates and an external environment. A method for fabricating a pipette structures is further provided.

Abstract: A cell culture vessel includes a vessel body, support columns, and a stabilizer device. The vessel body defines a cell culture chamber enclosed between a bottom wall and a top wall. The support column is within the cell culture chamber and extends between the top wall and the bottom wall. The stabilizer device covers a width and length of the cell culture chamber and has a column engaging structure that is sized to slidingly engage the support column such that the stabilizer device is movable along the support column as a liquid culture medium is received in the cell culture chamber. The support column guides the stabilizer device along a length of the support column as the stabilizer device rises with rising liquid level in the cell culture chamber during a liquid culture medium filling operation.

Abstract: A cell culture apparatus includes cell culture units having cell culture chambers, each with at least one manifold. The manifold connects the cell culture unit to a fluid flow channel. The manifold has a dam which allows liquid to pool in the manifold and allows for the creation of an airspace in the manifold, which reduces hydrostatic pressure inside the apparatus and enables the stacking of multiple cell culture units. Embodiments include cascading manifolds, manifolds having reservoirs, and manifolds having valves.
