Claims18
A biological sheet culture device comprising:
- a scaffold;
- a plurality of culture dishes for culturing biological sheets on the scaffold;
- and
- a plurality of communication pipes, each of which is configured to fluidly communicate with two adjacent culture dishes;
- wherein the plurality of culture dishes and the plurality of communication pipes are configured to form a plurality of fluid channels that are continuous, each fluid channel is configured to traverse every culture dish of the plurality of culture dishes, a sequence of one fluid channel of the plurality of fluid channels flowing through the plurality of culture dishes is different from that of at least one other fluid channel of the plurality of fluid channels flowing through the plurality of culture dishes wherein the plurality of fluid channels intersect each other through part of the plurality of culture dishes,
- wherein the plurality of fluid channels are configured such that adding culture medium to any single culture dish of the plurality of fluid channels can cause the culture medium to flow into all other culture dishes of the plurality of fluid channels,
- wherein an air permeable pipe is provided in a culture dish of the plurality of culture dishes, the air permeable pipe is configured to communicate from inside of the culture dish to outside of the culture dish, a permeable film is provided in the permeable pipe and configured to prevent dust and impurities from entering the culture dish through the air permeable pipe and allow air to enter the culture dish, and
- wherein the biological sheet culture device further comprises a water permeable pipe that extends into a culture dish of the plurality of culture dishes from a top of the culture dish of the plurality of culture dishes, and a fiber film is provided in the water permeable pipe and configured to prevent substances other than the culture medium in the culture dish from being discharged out of the culture dish through the water permeable pipe.
