The present invention provides a biological sample packaging container including: a sample storage container having a recessed part; a lid member that seals the upper surface of the sample storage container; and at least one gasket that is provided on the rear surface of the lid member or on the upper surface of the sample storage container, wherein: the sample storage container has a function of holding a biological sample therein; the lid member includes a first lid member provided with flow channel tubes that allow liquid and gas to be moved between the sample storage container and the outside, and a second lid member having no flow channel tubes; and the sample storage container is configured in such a manner that the first lid member and the second lid member can be replaced by each other.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a cell culture vessel of the present invention, which is composed of a space enclosed by a housing that supports a medium and a cell attachment part, disposed on the bottom surface of the space, that attaches and supports the cells, the cell attachment part having a cell immobilizing mechanism that guides the cells in the space to the cell attachment part to immobilize there and a cell detachment mechanism that detaches the cells attached in the cell attachment part, the cell immobilizing mechanism having a step of applying a voltage to an electrode disposed in the cell attachment part to generate a heterogeneous electric field in the space, and the cell detachment mechanism having a step of applying a voltage to an electrode disposed in the cell attachment part to induce electrolyte in the space.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a carrier device including a culture vessel and a flow channel, which have a closed structure, for supplying cell liquid or a culture medium into the flow channel; and a method of aseptically injecting liquid, such as the cell or the culture medium, into the culture vessel and the flow channel. The present invention provides a carrier jig 19 including a drive base 27, a culture vessel base 21 that holds a culture vessel 20, a culture medium base 32 that holds a cell bag 60 and the like for the culture medium and the cell, and a detachable flow channel 40, those of which are held by a lift 98 to be carried to a cell culture device. A part of the flow channel 40 and the cell bag 60 mounted on the carrier jig 19 are put into a clean space 78. The cell and the culture medium are supplied into the flow channel 40 by using the cell bag 60 and other bags in the clean space, and then, an injection port 89 is closed. The respective bases and the flow channel are simultaneously mounted to the cell culture device by using the carrier jig 19. Thus, the aseptic cell culture can be realized.

Abstract:
Provided is a cell culture device having a culture area for culturing the stem or progenitor cells, from which tissues are formed. The cell culture device includes an oxygen adjusting part that adjusts the oxygen supply in the culture area, a controller that controls the oxygen adjusting part, and another controller that controls a first oxygen supply during a first period of the period, in which the stem cells and the progenitor cells differentiate; and a second oxygen supply greater in amount than the first supply during a second period, during which the stem cells and the progenitor cells differentiate, out of the whole culture period, and that controls the oxygen adjusting part based on the growth progress of the stem cells and the progenitor cells through self-replication to change the first oxygen supply to the second oxygen supply.

Abstract:
In a closed system culture vessel to be used in an automated culture apparatus, some of the ports perform both liquid supply and gas supply functions. Culture medium is thereby made to flow always in one direction. The culture vessel is also configured so that, in the complete culture medium exchange process and the effluent recovery process for analyzing culture medium components, waste liquid medium does not get mixed into fresh culture medium.
Abstract:
A cell culture apparatus has four sections, including a cell culture chamber, refrigerator, control unit, and intermediate chamber. The cell culture chamber includes a culture vessel base as a holding member for holding and installing a culture vessel, a microscope for photographing a cell image within the culture vessel, and a drive base which has drive mechanisms such as a pump and a valve to be connected to a flow channel having a closed structure including a tank. With the drive base within the cell culture chamber as the center, the rotatable culture vessel is arranged in the horizontal direction and the refrigerator in which the culture medium base containing the cell fluid and culture medium is installed is arranged in the vertical direction. The arrangement configuration is space-saving and provides a short distance between the instruments.
