  • Publication number: 20170158996
    Abstract: A cell culture apparatus according to the present invention includes a cell culture bag and a culture tank. The cell culture bag is composed of a bag-shaped film material capable of accommodating cells and a culture medium therein. At least a part of the bag-shaped film material is formed of a porous membrane that selectively allows a substance contained in the culture medium to pass through but does not allow the cells to pass through. The culture tank retains the cell culture bag in an immersed state in a solution.
