Abstract
A measuring unit which is to be attached to a cell culture container configured to accommodate cells to be cultured and a culture solution, includes: a measurer which is configured to measure information related to the cells and the culture solution, in a non-contact manner; and a sensor which is configured to detect at least one of a position, a posture, an impact, an orientation, and vibration.
Claims15
A measuring unit which is to be attached to a cell culture container configured to accommodate cells to be cultured and a culture solution, the measuring unit comprising:
- a measurer which measures information related to the cells and the culture solution, in a non-contact manner;
- and
- a sensor which detects at least one of a position, a posture, an impact, an orientation, and vibration.
A cell culture container comprising:
- a culture cell accommodator which accommodates cells to be cultured and a culture solution;
- a measuring unit accommodator which accommodates a measuring unit that measures information related to the cells and the culture solution, in a non-contact manner;
- and
- a sensor which detects at least one of a position, a posture, an impact, an orientation, and vibration.
A cultivation condition monitoring system comprising:
- a cell culture container which accommodates cells to be cultured and a culture solution;
- a measuring unit which is attached to the cell culture container, and which measures information related to the cells and the culture solution, in a non-contact manner;
- a sensor which is disposed in one of the cell culture container and the measuring unit, and which detects at least one of a position, a posture, an impact, an orientation, and vibration;
- a communicator which is disposed in one of the cell culture container and the measuring unit, and which wirelessly transmits data indicating a result of detection by the sensor;
- and
- a communicating apparatus which wirelessly acquires the data from the communicator.
