CELL FUSION VESSEL, CELL FUSION APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR CELL FUSION USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new cell fusion vessel capable of more efficiently and surely carrying out cell fusion of two cells in a pair, to provide a cell fusion apparatus, and to provide a method for cell fusion using the same in electric cell fusion.;SOLUTION: The cell fusion vessel is provided with a pair of electrodes composed of electroconductive members oppositely disposed in a cell fusion region; and a platy insulator disposed through a platy spacer between the pair of electrodes, and having a plurality of micropores passing through the direction of the oppositely disposed electrodes. In the cell fusion vessel, the insulator is disposed on an electrode surface on the side of either one of cell fusion regions of the electrodes, and each cross section of the micropores is in a shape having the area of an opening surface reducing from the upper part of the opening to the opening bottom contacting the electrode. The cell fusion vessel, the cell fusion apparatus, and the method for cell fusion using the same are used.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
