Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a device for non-toxic labeling of in vitro culture dishes in cell therapy. Background Art

[0002] Currently, cell culture dishes are manually marked using chemical markers. Chemical pigments have obvious organic toxic properties. In a closed incubator, this toxic substance will continue to spread and pollute the culture environment. For more sensitive cell types (especially stem cells and human embryos), the trace accumulation and continuous existence of this organic toxicant has the potential risk of teratogenicity, carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, and epigenetic toxicity. In recent years, with the gradual development of cell therapy in the clinic, changes in stem cell phenotypes and genetic characteristics caused by operational factors have caused concerns among scientists and clinicians. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a non-toxic and easy-to-identify method for important quality control in the process of in vitro cell therapy.

[0003] Chinese patent application: CN200420013683.6 discloses a cell culture dish with positioning marks, including a symmetrical upper cover mounted on a disc with a cylindrical wall, and a positioning coordinate grid is set on the back of the bottom of the disc. When using the present invention to culture cells or conduct cell cloning experiments in a laboratory, according to the position of the cultured cells or cloned cells on the positioning coordinate grid on the bottom of the disc, it is convenient and accurate to perform positioning operations or record, manage and communicate on single cells or cloned cells. The drawbacks of inconvenience in operation, recording and communication caused by different personal positioning habits of the experimenter are avoided. However, the device is mainly used to mark the culture dish manually, which unnecessarily increases the workload of the doctor and reduces the efficiency of the work.
