    摘要: An apparatus and method for immunomagnetic separation and concentration of target biological materials is disclosed. The immunomagnetic separation is performed by a magnetic flow cell, or filter block, as part of an automated mostly continuous immunomagnetic assay system. The magnetic flow cell has two bundles of ferromagnetic rods or pins positioned inside an internal chamber so that a fluid sample flowing through the flow cell passes through the pins. A pair of cobalt magnets flank the flow cell so that the pins concentrate and sufficiently increase the magnetic fields so that even nanometer size magnetic beads can be captured. The overall system combines a reaction subsystem for reacting coated magnetic beads with a sample, a collection subsystem for capturing magnetic beads, a rinsing subsystem for removing debris and a filtering subsystem for removing captured magnetic beads from the collection subsystem. The new magnetic flow filter is the key component for the collection and filtering subsystems.

    摘要: A cell culture device is described comprising a gas permeable vessel which contains one or more self contained carbon dioxide generators and which is attached to a closure closing a gas permeable cell culture flask. Located in the closure is a gas permeable insert which defines a gas permeable opening through which the gases from the atmosphere of the vessel produced by the carbon dioxide generators can communicate with the gases in the atmosphere of the flask. This invention allows the rapid and uniform equilibration of the atmosphere of the flask with the controlled atmosphere of the vessel while still providing a closed system which prevents the entry of microbial organisms into the flask. This invention provides a controlled atmosphere for up to 24 hours that maintains the pH of the culture medium for optimal growth of cells growing in the culture medium in the flask. This invention allows for continuous microscopic observation of cells during this period and for long term exposure of cells to various physical or chemical agents.

    摘要: A flow-through cell cultivation apparatus and method is described. The flow-through cell cultivation system comprises a flowcell, a chamber inside the flowcell for holding cells, and a flowcell holder. The flowcell has a lower intake port for flowing liquid nutrient through a cellbed inside the flowcell and an upper outlet port for flowing the liquid nutrient out of the flowcell. The flowcell also includes a chuck for receipt of a thermal probe. The probe is made of electromagnetically non-interactive material. The flowcell is enclosed inside the flowcell holder. The flowcell holder includes a pair of intake ports into a cavity having an open end at the flowcell for turbulently flowing a temperature controlled gas against the flowcell. The cavity has rough walls to promote the turbulent flow. The flowcell holder includes an exhaust port for flowing the gas out of the flowcell holder which also serves as a port for another thermal probe. A one-way valve prevents flow of the liquid nutrient out of the chamber through the intake port. Temperature controlled air is supplied to the flowcell holder by dividing air from an air supply into two conduits. One conduit travels through a coil inside a refrigerated liquid bath and the other through a coil inside a heated liquid bath. The heated and cooled air are recombined to make an even temperature air supply which is then divided once more to provide the two air supplies for creating a turbulent supply of temperature controlled air through the two flowcell holder intake ports. The flowcell may include on one side a semi-permeable membrane for introducing a gas/liquid interface to the cellbed.
