The independence of multiple species such as cells culture apparatus under the same environment

摘要

PURPOSE: To provide a culture device for simply and accurately measuring and analyzing the growth ratios of respective microorganisms cultured in cultured media having a mutually same medium composition in the same culture conditions, in a mixture system, without mixing the microorganisms themselves with each other. ;CONSTITUTION: This device for independently culturing plural kinds of cells, etc., under a same environment comprises at least two porous hollow fiber bundles 4, 5 whose both ends are fixed, a culturer 3 equipped with an outlet 10 and an inlet 11 used for circulating a culture solution in the culturer 3, the first tube connected to the outlet 10 and the inlet 11, a cultured product-analyzing device 2 comprising fixation member for fixing the hollow fiber bundles, the second tubes connected to pipes, respectively, disposed on one of the sides on which the hollow fiber bundles are not extended, culture tanks 23, 24 to which the ends of the tubes are connected, respectively, and which contain the culture solutions of cells or microorganisms, and the third tubes for connecting the culture tanks 23, 24 to pipes disposed on the other of the sides on which the hollow fiber bundles are not extended. Therein, the culture solutions containing different kinds of the cells or microorganisms are flown in the respective hollow fiber bundles, respectively.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1996,JPO
