Abstract
A cell and tissue culture unit comprises a base (1) equipped with access means (7,8) for being connected to a culture medium feed device and delimiting at least side-walls (5) of a culture chamber (6) and at least side-walls of at least a well (3-i ) communicating through at least one of its upper and lower portions with chamber (6), as well as removable closing means (10,15-i,17i) able to provide access to chamber (6) and to well (3-i).
Claims11
A cell and tissue culture unit comprising a culture chamber (6) able to receive cells or tissues to be grown, and including access structure (7, 8) to be connected to a culture medium supply device, comprising a base (1) delimiting at least side-walls (5) of the chamber (6) and at least side-walls of at least one well (3-i) communicating through at least one of its upper and lower portions with the chamber (6), and removable closing structure (10, 15-i, 17-i) able to provide access to the chamber (6) and to the well (3-i),
- said closing structure including a removable upper lid (10) adapted to close the upper portion of said chamber (6),
- said upper lid (10) including, facing each well (3-i), a port (13-i) adapted to receive a removable upper seal (15-i).
A cell and tissue culture unit comprising a culture chamber (6) able to receive cells or tissues to be grown, and including access structure (7, 8) to be connected to a culture medium supply device, comprising a base (1) delimiting at least side-walls (5) of the chamber (6) and at least side-walls of at least one well (3-i) communicating through at least one of its upper and lower portions with the chamber (6), and removable closing structure (10, 15-i, 17-i) able to provide access to the chamber (6) and to the well (3-i),
- said closing structure including a removable upper lid (10) adapted to close the upper portion of said chamber (6),
- said upper lid (10) including at least an area (11) configured so as to enable an external component selected from the group consisting of at least one temperature sensor, a pH sensor and a needle (18) to be introduced therein.
A cell and tissue culture unit comprising a culture chamber (6) able to receive cells or tissues to be grown, and including access structure (7, 8) to be connected to a culture medium supply device, comprising a base (1) delimiting at least side-walls (5) of the chamber (6) and at least side-walls of at least one well (3-i) communicating through at least one of its upper and lower portions with the chamber (6), and removable closing structure (10, 15-i, 17-i) able to provide access to the chamber (6) and to the well (3-i),
- said closing structure including a removable lower lid adapted to close the lower portion of each well (3-i).
A cell and tissue culture unit comprising a culture chamber (6) able to receive cells or tissues to be grown, and including access structure (7, 8) to be connected to a culture medium supply device, comprising a base (1) delimiting at least side-walls (5) of the chamber (6) and at least side-walls of at least one well (3-i) communicating through at least one of its upper and lower portions with the chamber (6), and removable closing structure (10, 15-i, 17-i) able to provide access to the chamber (6) and to the well (3-i),
- said closing structure including removable lower seals (17-i) independent of one another and each configured so as to close the lower open portion of a well (3-i).
A cell and tissue culture unit comprising a culture chamber (6) able to receive cells or tissues to be grown, and including access structure (7, 8) to be connected to a culture medium supply device, comprising a base (1) delimiting at least side-walls (5) of the chamber (6) and at least side-walls of at least one well (3-i) communicating through at least one of its upper and lower portions with the chamber (6), and removable closing structure (10, 15-i, 17-i) able to provide access to the chamber (6) and to the well (3-i),
- wherein at least certain of the wells (3-i) include at least one membrane placed at an intermediate level so as to define at least two superimposed culture compartments.
