Abstract
Provided is a means for evaluating the wetting characteristic of an object such as a cell sheet and a culture dish in a non-contact fashion. The wetting characteristic of an object is evaluated by a method comprising the steps of: (1) removing a liquid by jetting a gas at a surface of the object covered with the liquid, (2) measuring a dimension of a region in which the liquid is removed after the completion of the gas jetting and (3) evaluating the wetting characteristic of the object using the measured dimension as an index.
Claims8
A method of evaluating a wetting characteristic of an object, the method comprising:
- (a) removing a liquid by jetting a gas at a surface of the object covered with the liquid, and
- (b) measuring a dimension of a region where the liquid is removed after the gas jetting, by photographing the region in which the liquid is removed, and obtaining the dimension of the region in which the liquid is removed from the photographed image,
- wherein the dimension of the region is at least one spatial dimension selected from the group consisting of a radius, a diameter, a circumferential length, an area, and a volume of the region.
