Cell fabrication apparatus, cell fabrication method and infection container

Abstract

[Problem] To provide a cell production apparatus that can properly mix a small amount of mixture containing the first cell and the factor to generate a second cell by infecting the first cell with a virus using a factor, and can reliably infect the second cell with the virus. [Solution] The cell production apparatus 1 includes an infection section 30, which infects the first cell, which has been separated from the liquid, with a virus to generate a second cell. An infection device 100 is disposed in the infection section 30. The infection device 100 includes: a container placement device 110 for placing an infection container 30a; and a rotation mechanism 120 for rotating the container placement device 110 so that liquid containing the first cell is dispensed from the separation section 20 for the infection container 30a. The container placement device 110 has a space for accommodating the infection container 30a, namely an elongated container storage section 110a, and the long side of the container storage section 110a is inclined relative to the horizontal plane.
