Abstract
The rotating culture device includes a tubular culture vessel long in an axial direction, a support mechanism which supports the culture vessel so that the culture vessel is rotatable about an axis thereof, rotation drive section which rotationally drives the culture vessel, tilting section which tilts the support mechanism so that the axis of the culture vessel is tilted in a vertical direction, and control section which controls operation of the rotation drive section and operation of the tilting section.
Claims16
A rotating culture device comprising:
- a tubular culture vessel which is long in an axial direction;
- a support mechanism which supports the culture vessel so that the culture vessel is rotatable about an axis thereof;
- a rotation drive section which rotationally drives the culture vessel;
- a tilting section which tilts the support mechanism so that the axis of the culture vessel is tilted in a vertical direction;
- and
- a control section which controls operation of the rotation drive section and operation of the tilting section, wherein
- the culture vessel has a peripheral wall portion whose shape is cylindrical or a polygonal shape having eight or more sides so that a liquid culture medium in the culture vessel is prevented from being stirred to damage cells, and
- the control section controls the tilting section in accordance with a distribution state of cells so that uneven floating positions of the cells in the axial direction are dispersed in the axial direction.

A rotating culture device comprising:
- a tubular culture vessel which is long in an axial direction;
- a support mechanism which supports the culture vessel at both end sides thereof so that the culture vessel is rotatable about an axis thereof;
- a rotation drive section which rotationally drives the culture vessel;
- a reciprocating section which reciprocates the support mechanism in a horizontal direction along the axis of the culture vessel;
- and
- a control section which controls operation of the rotation drive section and operation of the reciprocating section, wherein
- the culture vessel has a peripheral wall portion whose shape is cylindrical or a polygonal shape having eight or more sides so that a liquid culture medium in the culture vessel is prevented from being stirred to damage cells, and
- the control section controls the reciprocating section in accordance with a distribution state of cells so that uneven floating positions of the cells in the axial direction are dispersed in the axial direction.

- a rotation drive section which rotationally drives the culture vessel;
- a tilting section which tilts the support mechanism so that the axis of the culture vessel is tilted in a vertical direction;
- a reciprocating section which integrally reciprocates the support mechanism and the tilting section in a horizontal direction along the axis of the culture vessel;
- and
- a control section which controls operation of the rotation drive section, operation of the tilting section, and operation of the reciprocating section, wherein
- the culture vessel has a peripheral wall portion whose shape is cylindrical or a polygonal shape having eight or more sides so that a liquid culture medium in the culture vessel is prevented from being stirred to damage cells, and
- the control section controls the tilting section and the reciprocating section in accordance with a distribution state of cells so that uneven floating positions of the cells in the axial direction are dispersed in the axial direction.
