  • Publication number: 20160355774
    Abstract: A cell culturing device includes a culture tank, a shaft member at least partially disposed in the culture tank, a stirring mechanism supported by the shaft member, disposed in the culture tank, and a filter disposed in contact with the shaft member so as to suck the culture solution from the culture tank and/or to supply the culture solution to the culture tank. The shaft member is at least partially hollow, has openings to introduce the culture solution to the interior or to discharge the culture solution from the interior, and is unrotatable. Suction of the culture solution from the culture tank and/or supply of the culture solution to the tank is performed through the filter and the interior of the shaft member.
