Abstract
A cell culture device (100) includes a band-shaped flexible member (10), the band-shaped member being configured to be circumferentially windable. The band-shaped member (10) has an inner circumferential surface (1a) and an outer circumferential surface (1b), at least one of which is provided with a plurality of wells (2) each having a concave shape, and at least some (2) of the plurality of wells (2) are connected to each other by a culture solution conduit (3).
Claims23
A cell culture device comprising:
- a band-shaped flexible member, the band-shaped member being configured to be circumferentially windable;
- wherein
- in a state in which the band-shaped member is circumferentially wound, the band-shaped member has an inner circumferential surface and an outer circumferential surface, at least one of which is provided with a plurality of wells each having a concave shape, the plurality of wells adjusted for cells to be cultured therein;
- and
- at least some of the plurality of wells are connected to each other by a culture solution conduit adjusted for a culture solution to flow therethrough.

A cell culture method comprising:
- seeding cells in each of a plurality of wells each having a concave shape of a band-shaped flexible member, the band-shaped member being configured to be circumferentially windable;
- circumferentially winding the band-shaped member after the seeding the cells;
- and
- flowing a culture solution into each of the plurality of wells via a culture solution conduit from an upper side of the band-shaped member circumferentially wound in a state in which the band-shaped member circumferentially wound is arranged such that a central axis of a winding is along a vertical direction after the circumferentially winding the band-shaped member;
- wherein
- the band-shaped member has an inner circumferential surface and an outer circumferential surface, at least one of which is provided with the plurality of wells adjusted for the cells to be cultured therein;
- and
- at least some of the plurality of wells are connected to each other by the culture solution conduit adjusted for the culture solution to flow therethrough.
