Small multi-purpose cell culturing and testing device

Abstract

The invention provides a small multi-purpose cell culturing and testing device. With the adoption of the device, the cell culture and micro-fluidic chip perfusion experiment can be carried out, and meanwhile, in the culturing and testing processes, the cells can be observed in real time. The device comprises an upper cover, a clamp and a bottom shell, wherein the upper cover comprises an upper cover heater, an upper cover window, a micro-fluidic chip interface, a liquid flow channel, an air injection hole and an upper cover heater electric wire hole; the clamp is a micro-fluidic chip clamp or a culture dish clamp; the bottom shell comprises a gas sensor, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a bottom shell heater electric wire hole and a bottom shell window. The small multi-purpose cell culturing and testing device is simple in structure, small in size and low in cost, the real-time observation is available, and the device is suitable for multiple purposes including cell culturing and testing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of biomedicine, in particular to a small multipurpose cell culture and experimental device. Background technique [0002] Cell culture is a basic technology and an important research method in the field of scientific research and biopharmaceuticals. The existing methods of culturing cells mainly use petri dishes or microfluidic chips. When using a petri dish to culture cells, the petri dish is placed in a larger incubator, and the environmental conditions required for culturing cells are controlled through the incubator, but the petri dish needs to be taken out of the culture environment for necessary operations at intervals, such as replacing the culture These two operations will have a certain impact on the cells; at present, the use of microfluidic chips to culture cells can continuously perfuse the culture medium without manual replacement, but the growth environment of the cells still needs to be provided by the ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This kind of device has a complex structure, and the cells need to be taken out of the culture environment to observe

[0005] Existing cell culture instruments are large in size, high in cost, and have single functions, which cannot be used for high-throughput analysis. Imported cell culture devices are expensive, which is not conducive to popularization and use. In addition, cells need to be observed in real time during the culture process
