DEVICE FOR PERFORMING EXAMINATIONS ON CELL CULTURES

摘要

The invention relates to a device (1) for performing analyses on cell-cultures (2) which are present in a liquid culture medium (4). The device has at least one receptacle (3) for receiving the culture medium containing the cell-culture. One or more sensors (6) are provided for the cell-culture readings and the receptacle (3) has at least one access opening for supplying and evacuating the liquid culture medium (4). A separating element (7) can be introduced into the receptacle which is open at the top and moved into position in close proximity to the base. In this position, said separating element delimits a sub-chamber which has a reduced volume (8) in relation to the total receiving volume of the receptacle. In addition, at least one flow channel (9) is provided, which on one side adjoins the reduced-volume sub-chamber (8) and on the other adjoins a reservoir chamber (14). The sensor(s) (6) are arranged in the area of the reduced-volume sub-chamber.
