Cultivation of human/animal cells, in virtual in vivo conditions, for research into cell functions, comprises that the cell cultures are held in culture chambers, with continuous supplies of fluids and gases under computer control

摘要

For cell cultivation, especially human and animal cells, a cell culture is placed in a cell culture chamber (20) in a cultivation system, a flow is generated of freely-selected fluid media into the culture chamber as a continuous supply, and a flow of different gases into the chamber gives a continuous gassing action. For cell cultivation, especially human and animal cells, at least one cell culture is placed in at least one cell culture chamber (20) in a cultivation system. A flow is generated of freely-selected fluid media into the culture chamber as a continuous supply, and a flow of different gases into the chamber gives a continuous gassing action. The culture chamber is heated under control, to maintain a constant temperature. The cell culture is monitored throughout cultivation by microscope observation, together with continuous measurement of selected cell parameters, using integrated sensors. The assembly has flow channels (26-28) for the fluids and gases.
