It is intended to provide a cell culture chamber in a shape suitable for cell culture. It is also intended to provide a cell culture chamber which is inexpensive and facilitates observation. A cell culture chamber (100) includes a cover (10), a chamber body (20) and a plate-shaped base (30). The cover (10) covers an opening (21) of the chamber body (20). The chamber body (20) contains a culture such as cells. The plate base (30) covers a through hole (24) formed at the bottom (23) of the chamber body (20). Moreover, the plate base (30) has fine pits and projections formed thereon for culturing the culture.

A microchannel array, a method of manufacturing the same, and a blood test method. The microchannel array is formed by joining first and second substrates, each including a fluid inlet and outlet on their surfaces. An internal space structure connects the fluid inlet and outlet, and includes an upstream flow channel connected with the fluid inlet, a downstream flow channel connected with the fluid outlet with a gap therebetween, and a micro flow channel connecting the upstream and downstream flow channels. A minimum distance from a center of a sectional surface of the micro flow channel to a side wall of the micro flow channel is smaller than that of the upstream and downstream flow channels. Each surface of the first and second substrates includes grooves for creating the upstream and downstream flow channels, and the surface of the second substrate has grooves for creating the micro flow channel.

An object of the present invention is to provide a cell culture chamber with which the survival rate of cells to be cultured can be increased, and a method of producing the same. A cell culture chamber according to the present invention includes a mass of projections formed of a plurality of microprojections 1 formed on a surface on which cells are cultured. The width or diameter of each of the microprojections 1 is in a range of 20 nm to 3 μm, and the aspect ratio of each of the microprojections is in a range of 0.2 to 3.0. Thus, there can be provided a cell culture chamber most suitable for the adhesion and differentiation/proliferation of cells to be cultured.

To provide a cell culture chamber capable of reproducing a cell function in vivo, and a method of producing the same. The cell culture chamber according to the present invention has a concave-convex pattern formed on the surface on which cells are cultured. A concave portion of the concave-convex pattern includes cell culture portions and micro flow channels communicating with the cell culture portions. The bottom surface of each of the cell culture portions has a width 1.0 to 20 times an equivalent diameter of each of the cultured cells. A cell adhesion-inducing substance is formed only on the bottom surface and the side walls of the concave portion.

A balloon catheter and its pilot balloon system visually indicate the state of the inflation of a balloon placed in a human body. The small pilot balloon is conveniently manufactured by blow molding utilizing substantially the same material and has substantially the same structure as the main balloon. The pilot balloon is useful for a catheter with balloon or a tube with cuff where the balloon or the cuff is made of a very resilient material. The preferred material is a blend of composition having certain properties comprising styrenic thermoplastic elastomer and polyolefin.

To provide a cell culture chamber and a cell culture method that are capable of effectively constructing an intercellular network in a culture space. A cell culture chamber (10) according to the present invention is a cell culture chamber (10) including a plurality of microchambers (11) formed on a surface thereof, characterized in that convex portions (side walls 12) that partition the microchambers (11) adjacent to each other are formed to prevent cells from being adhered to upper surfaces of the convex portions. Consequently, cells can be cultured exclusively within the microchambers (11), and an intercellular network can be constructed effectively.
