  • Publication number: 20220401951
    Abstract: Provided is a cell culture test device including a plurality of well units. Each of the well units includes a first inlet portion through which a first fluid is introduced, a first accommodation space communicating with the first inlet portion to accommodate a flow of the first fluid introduced through the first inlet portion, a second inlet portion through which a second fluid is introduced, and a second accommodation space in which the second fluid is accommodated. The second accommodation space accommodates an island structure connected with an island-connecting structure extending from the wall surface of the second accommodation space. A third inlet portion through which an antibiotic is loaded is formed above the island structure. The antibiotic loaded through the third inlet portion is fixedly accommodated on the inner and outer surfaces of the island structure.

  • Publication number: 20220348979
    Abstract: Provided is a multi-well-based rapid cell culture test device designed such that fluid films with a uniform thickness are formed. The rapid cell culture test device has an array structure of a plurality of aligned well units, each of which includes a first sub-well in which a first fluid is accommodated and a barrier structure surrounding the first sub-well to define the area of the first sub-well. A capillary channel recessed from the bottom surface of the first sub-well while traversing the bottom surface is formed to accommodate the first fluid and the barrier structure is divided into a barrier portion A located adjacent to one end of the capillary channel and a barrier portion B located adjacent to the other end of the capillary channel.

  • Publication number: 20220333152
    Abstract: Provided is a cell culture test device including a plurality of well units. Each of the well units includes an inlet portion through which a first fluid and a second fluid are introduced and a bottom portion including a first sub-well in which the first fluid is accommodated. A first stepped portion protrudes toward the center of the well unit along the circumference of the inner wall of the well unit such that the well unit has a lower portion whose inner width is smaller than that of an upper portion at the inlet portion side.

  • Patent number: 11377679
    Abstract: Provided is a multi-well-based cell culture test device having an array structure of a plurality of aligned well units. Each of the well units includes a first sub-well adapted to accommodate a first fluid, a second sub-well adapted to accommodate a second fluid, and a barrier located between the first sub-well and the second sub-well to partition the first sub-well and the second sub-well. The first sub-well has a recess in the depth direction with respect to its bottom to accommodate a solid thin film formed by solidifying the first fluid. The barrier has such a height that the first fluid does not overflow into the second sub-well when the first fluid is loaded into the first sub-well to fill the recess.
