  • Patent number: 12258548
    Abstract: In the production of a culture vessel in which a low cell-adhesive polymer as a coating agent is applied to a culture surface having a plurality of concave parts formed thereon, a use amount of the coating agent can be reduced. The low cell-adhesive polymer as the coating agent is applied to a surface of a culture base material in advance, and subsequently the culture base material is subjected to processing to form the culture vessel having the surface of the culture base material coated with the coating agent as the culture surface.

  • Publication number: 20240150695
    Abstract: A method for producing the cell culture vessel having the culture surface of cells includes: using a primary mold including a projecting portion to form an uneven pattern structure on a surface of a vessel base material and a secondary mold including a projecting portion to flatten a part of the surface of the vessel base material; pressing the primary mold against the vessel base material to form the uneven pattern structure on the vessel base material; pressing the secondary mold against a thin portion formed on the vessel base material to modify the thin portion to a flattened portion; and configuring the surface of the vessel base material including the uneven pattern structure formed with at least a part of the modified flattened portion as the culture surface to form the cell culture vessel.

  • Publication number: 20240124821
    Abstract: A culture vessel includes at least a first port used for medium supply and a second port used for medium discharge, and A medium supplying vessel serves as a mixing vessel for adjusting a concentration of A new medium to be supplied to the culture vessel. A cell culture method includes: transferring a portion of a used medium in the culture vessel from the culture vessel to the mixing vessel; creating a concentration-adjusted medium by mixing the new medium and the portion of the used medium in the mixing vessel; and filling the culture vessel with the concentration-adjusted medium by discharging a remaining used medium from the culture vessel while the concentration-adjusted medium is transferred from the mixing vessel to the culture vessel.

  • Publication number: 20240076603
    Abstract: Provided is a cell culture system capable of detecting a proliferative property of cells in a culture vessel at a desired timing during a culture when the cells are statically cultured in the culture vessel formed of a gas permeable member. A cell culture system is a system for statically culturing cells with a culture vessel at least partially formed of a gas permeable member. The cell culture system includes an oxygen concentration sensor that measures an oxygen concentration in a vicinity of a culture surface inside the culture vessel, and a proliferation detection unit that detects a proliferative property of the cells based on an oxygen permeability of the gas permeable member, a measurement value of the oxygen concentration sensor, an oxygen concentration around the culture vessel, and an oxygen consumption per cell of the cells.
