The purpose of the present invention is to provide a valve mechanism which features a simple structure adapted to collectively control the supply of gas or culture medium to a plurality of cultivation containers for simultaneous cultivation and to enhance the reliability of the valve mechanism. The valve mechanism of the invention is a valve mechanism for opening and closing passages for liquid or gas. The valve mechanism includes: clip members adapted to close a plurality of tube passages, respectively; a multiple cam member for opening the clip members in sequence by making contact with the clip members; and a rotational mechanism for rotating the multiple cam member. The clip member includes: a spring for closing a clip thereof; and a clip contact portion for a cam contact portion of the multiple cam member to make contact therewith.

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.

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.

Provided is a cell cultivation container equipped with electrodes, which enables automatic culturing, observation of automatically cultured cells, and measurement of electrical resistances. A circular electrode (10) is arranged on a base section or a side surface of a frame body (2) of a cell cultivation container, in such a manner that allows observation of cells. Additionally, a rod-shaped electrode (11) is arranged on a lid section (3) of the cell cultivation container, in such a manner that allows observation of cells. In an alternative configuration, the cell cultivation container has a flow channel (8) made of an electrically conductive material. An alternating current generator (13) is connected between the electrode (10) and the electrode (11), and the transepithelial electrical resistances of cells are measured during culturing. This configuration enables automatic culturing, observation of automatically cultured cells, and measurement of electrical resistances.
摘要:
In order to uniformly sow cells on the culture surface of a cartridge-type closed culture vessel and remove bubbles contaminating in liquid culture medium in the course of automatic culture, an automatic culture equipment is provided with a flow-controlling mechanism section for solving the non-uniformity in cell distribution by, after filling up a culture space in the cartridge-type closed culture vessel, said cartridge-type closed culture vessel being in an upright position, with cell suspension, turning the cartridge-type closed culture vessel into a horizontal position, and then repeatedly supplying the cell suspension and sucking the same multiple times to thereby create a mixing flow in the cell suspension. In this process, the liquid in channels is efficiently sent by applying a reduced pressure and an elevated pressure respectively to a channel on one side and a channel on the opposite side, using two syringes and check valves connected to the channels, to thereby load forces to the liquid from both sides. The liquid can be sent without any cell loss by conducting the same operations of the flow-controlling mechanism section in a tank and in a cell bag.

摘要:
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.
