  • Publication number: 20130034899
    Abstract: A cell culturing device includes: an electrode on a surface of which a hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity converting material adapted to be electrically changed between hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity is provided. In this case, the electrode is disposed within a region in which a cell to be cultured is adapted to be accommodated. With the cell culturing device, the application of the suitable voltage to the electrode changes the hydrophilicity/the hydrophobicity of the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity converting material. Thus, the feed material adsorbed to the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity converting material is desorbed, thereby making it possible to feed the feed material to the cell.
