Cell stimulating apparatus, cell stimulating method, culture product manufacturing method, isolated cell manufacturing method, and cell growing method

A cell stimulating method for detaching adhesive cells adhered on a culture substrate from the culture substrate by stimulating the cells, comprising:

• placing cells and a solution in which the cells are dipped, between a first electrode and a second electrode opposing the first electrode;
• and
• applying an alternating field between the first electrode and the second electrode,
• wherein at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode is not in contact with the cells and the solution, wherein
• the cells and the solution are contained in a vessel, and
• the first electrode and the second electrode are arranged outside the vessel.

An isolated cell manufacturing method comprising:

• placing adhesive cells adhered on a culture substrate and a solution in which the cells are dipped, between a first electrode and a second electrode opposing the first electrode;
• and
• applying an alternating field between the first electrode and the second electrode such that the cells are detached from the culture substrate and isolated,
• wherein at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode is not in contact with the cells and the solution, wherein
• the cells and the solution are contained in a vessel, and
• the first electrode and the second electrode are arranged outside the vessel.

A cell growing method comprising:

• placing adhesive cells adhered on a culture substrate and a solution in which the cells are dipped, between a first electrode and a second electrode opposing the first electrode;
• applying an alternating field between the first electrode and the second electrode such that the cells are detached from the culture substrate and isolated;
• and
• culturing and growing the isolated cells detached from the culture substrate,
• wherein at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode is not in contact with the cells and the solution, wherein
• the cells and the solution are contained in a vessel, and
• the first electrode and the second electrode are arranged outside the vessel.
