Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cell culture devices, and in particular to a centrifugal culture chamber and a centrifugal culture device. Background Art
[0002] The large-scale expansion of stem cells in vitro is a key step in stem cell research and application, and is of great significance for promoting the development of stem cell therapy, regenerative medicine and other fields. The expansion of stem cells in vitro is mainly achieved by isolating, purifying and culturing stem cells to increase their number under sterile conditions. In this process, it is necessary to optimize the conditions such as culture medium components, growth factors and extracellular matrix to promote the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells. Traditional 2D culture technology is simple and it is relatively easy to replace the culture medium, but it is difficult to expand the culture of cells, and it is impossible to monitor the cell growth status and cell growth environment in a timely and effective manner. The 3D culture method can select a large-capacity bioreactor to achieve large-scale cell expansion, and can also use three-dimensional porous structures such as microcarriers, which are conducive to cell adsorption and proliferation, and most of the growth factors are attached to the surface, which is conducive to cell expression, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of stem cell expansion.
[0003] During the culture process, stem cells need to go through repeated separation of intermediate products, fluid replacement and re-culture to ensure the ideal expansion efficiency at a specific stage. Therefore, the culture chamber needs to be able to achieve dynamic 3D culture and also facilitate cell harvesting or fluid replacement operations. Two separation and harvesting schemes, centrifugation and filtration, are commonly used in existing equipment. The centrifugation scheme centrifuges the cultured samples, and after the cell samples and supernatant are separated, the supernatant is removed, the cells are washed, and the cells are concentrated; the filtration harvesting scheme filters the cell samples containing the supernatant through the filter, which can filter out the supernatant while intercepting the cells. However, the flow resistance of the filter is large, resulting in low separation efficiency, and long-term treatment will also significantly reduce the biological activity of the cells; therefore, the centrifugation scheme has a higher throughput and can meet the needs of large-volume cell sample solution separation. However, the existing centrifugal chamber structure process is relatively complex and the production cost is high, which makes it difficult to meet the growing demand for stem cell culture.

[0038] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the fixed joint seat 124 and the rotating sealing body 123 are rotationally connected through a bearing, and the top of the gas-liquid channel 1241 is connected with an air circuit interface and a liquid circuit interface, the air circuit interface is used to connect with the air circuit control system, and the liquid circuit interface is used to connect with the liquid circuit control system.

[0040] The fixed joint seat 124 is used to connect the gas control system and the liquid control system. The gas-liquid channel 1241 allows mixed gas, cell samples and culture materials to enter the centrifugal culture chamber 12. When supplied, they are transferred and drained through the guide channel 1251 on the blade shaft 125, and then introduced into the centrifugal culture chamber 12 by the liquid inlet component 13 to achieve liquid inlet control, while the liquid outlet channel 1242 is connected to the liquid outlet component 14, and is used to discharge supernatant, etc. under centrifugal state; since the fixed joint seat 124 is rotatably connected to the rotating sealing body 123, the connection with the gas control system and the liquid control system will not be affected when the centrifugal culture chamber 12 rotates, and the setting of the blade shaft 125 can provide turbulence during the rotation process of the centrifugal culture chamber 12 to promote the convective exchange of nutrients.
[0041] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10As shown, the liquid inlet assembly 13 includes: a liquid inlet ring seat 131, on which is provided a rotating groove 132 which is adapted to the bottom of the blade shaft 125, and in which is provided a liquid through port 133 which is connected to the guide channel 1251; a guide plate 134 which is connected to the side of the liquid inlet ring seat 131 and extends radially along the liquid inlet ring seat 131; and on the lower warehouse body 122, a mounting groove 1224 which is adapted to the liquid inlet ring seat 131 and the guide plate 134 is provided, and the mounting groove 1224 is connected to the liquid through port 133, and a guide groove 1225 is formed between the liquid inlet ring seat 131 and the guide plate 134, and a liquid inlet port 1226 which is connected to the lower warehouse body 122 is formed at the end of the guide groove 1225.
[0042] Specifically, the mounting groove 1224 includes: a central ring groove adapted to the liquid inlet ring seat 131, and a radial groove adapted to the guide plate 134. The liquid inlet component 13 is embedded in the mounting groove 1224 and fits with the mounting groove 1224 to achieve sealing, and can be sealed by ultrasonic welding or photosensitive adhesive bonding. The guide groove 1225 is arranged in the radial groove and extends from the center of the central ring groove to the edge of the bottom plate 1221, and the width of the guide groove 1225 is smaller than the width of the radial groove to limit the embedding depth of the guide plate 134. The guide groove 1225 extends out of the radial groove to form a liquid inlet 1226 at the end.
[0043] The rotating groove 132 cooperates with the bottom of the blade shaft 125 to achieve a stable connection with the blade shaft 125. The airflow and liquid flow are guided through the guide channel 1251 and enter the guide groove 1225 from the liquid port 133. Restricted by the liquid inlet ring seat 131 and the guide plate 134, the airflow and liquid flow are finally forced to enter the centrifugal culture chamber 12 from the liquid inlet 1226. At the same time, since the liquid inlet component 13 is arranged in the lower chamber body 122, the airflow direction and liquid flow direction are from bottom to top during the supply, which can promote the dissolution and exchange of gas in the culture solution and ensure the pH and dissolved oxygen level of the solution.
[0044] like Figures 4 to 8As shown, the liquid outlet assembly 14 includes a liquid outlet guide plate 141 fixed to the upper warehouse body 121, the liquid outlet guide plate 141 extends from the rotating seal body 123 to near the lower warehouse body 122, the rotating seal body 123 is provided with a transfer guide groove 1231 connected to the liquid outlet channel 1242, the liquid outlet guide plate 141 is provided with a liquid outlet guide groove 142 connected to the transfer guide groove 1231, and the liquid outlet guide groove 142 extends to one end near the lower warehouse body 122 to form a liquid outlet 143, the liquid outlet 143 is rectangular, and the liquid outlet 143 is set to be extremely thin, for example, the width of the liquid outlet 143 is set to 0.5mm; it can be understood that a liquid outlet embedded groove 1216 adapted to the liquid outlet guide plate 141 is provided on the upper warehouse body 121, and the liquid outlet guide plate 141 is embedded in the liquid outlet embedded groove 1216 and passes through the ultra The sealing connection is performed by ultrasonic welding or photosensitive adhesive bonding, and a guide hole 1217 is also provided on the upper chamber body 121. The guide hole 1217 is correspondingly connected to the end of the liquid outlet channel 1242. One side of the transfer guide groove 1231 extends in the rotating sealing body 123 to be correspondingly connected to the guide hole 1217. When discharging liquid, the liquid flows into the liquid outlet guide groove 142 from the liquid outlet port 143, and enters the liquid outlet channel 1242 through the transfer guide groove 1231 under the drainage effect of the liquid outlet guide groove 142 to achieve liquid discharge. After the centrifugal culture chamber 12 is centrifuged, the cells are centrifugally attached to the inner wall of the centrifugal culture chamber 12, and a very small concentration space is formed on the inner wall of the centrifugal culture chamber 12, which can meet the high-proportion concentration requirements, and then the supernatant is extracted through the extremely thin liquid outlet port 143, thereby achieving a more accurate and thorough liquid replacement operation.
[0045] It can be understood that the end of the lower connecting plate 1222 expands radially outward to form an annular belt between the lower connecting plate 1222 and the lower enclosure plate 1223. The annular belt can form a cell concentration area 1227 during centrifugation, and the liquid outlet 143 is located above the radial position of the annular belt. In actual use, the radial position of the liquid outlet 143 can be adjusted according to the concentration requirements to ensure that the supernatant can be completely removed.
[0046] In summary, in the centrifugal culture chamber 12 of the present invention, the fixed joint seat 124 is used to connect the gas circuit control system and the liquid circuit control system, and the gas-liquid channel 1241 is used for mixed gas, cell samples and culture materials to enter the centrifugal culture chamber 12. When supplied, the mixed gas, cell samples and culture materials are transferred and drained through the guide channel 1251 on the blade shaft 125, and then introduced into the centrifugal culture chamber 12 by the liquid inlet component 13 to realize liquid inlet control, and the liquid outlet channel 1242 is connected to the liquid outlet component 14 for discharging supernatant, etc.; because the fixed joint seat 124 is rotatably connected to the rotating sealing body 123, the connection with the gas circuit control system and the liquid circuit control system will not be affected when the centrifugal culture chamber 12 rotates, and the setting of the blade shaft 125 can provide turbulence during the rotation process of the centrifugal culture chamber 12, promote the convective exchange of nutrients, and the overall structure of the centrifugal culture chamber 12 is simple and the cost is low.
[0047] like Fig.11 As shown, the second aspect of an embodiment of the present invention provides a cell culture device, comprising: a centrifugal support frame 11; a centrifugal culture chamber 12 as described in the first aspect, the centrifugal culture chamber 12 is rotatably assembled on the centrifugal support frame 11; and a first drive motor 15 carried by the centrifugal support frame 11 and used to drive the centrifugal culture chamber 12 to perform centrifugal rotational motion.
[0048] The centrifugal support frame 11 is used to support and install the centrifugal culture chamber 12. A bearing can be arranged between the bottom of the centrifugal culture chamber 12 and the centrifugal support frame 11 to realize the rotational connection of the centrifugal culture chamber 12. The first drive motor 15 adopts a servo motor, so that it can drive the centrifugal culture chamber 12 to perform intermittent rotation, forward and reverse rotation or high-speed centrifugal rotation; the storage space formed in the centrifugal culture chamber 12 can be used to store cells and culture materials, and the supply and discharge of cells and culture materials are realized through the liquid inlet component 13 and the liquid outlet component 14, and the centrifugal culture chamber 12 can be driven to rotate by the first drive motor 15 to realize the suspension culture and centrifugal stratification of cells.
[0049] Furthermore, the centrifugal culture chamber 12 is provided with a monitoring feedback module 20 on the outside of the centrifugal culture chamber 12 , and the monitoring feedback module 20 includes: a detection sensor 21 for detecting the pH value and DO value in the centrifugal culture chamber 12 ; and a detection camera 22 for performing layered monitoring of the centrifugal culture chamber 12 .
[0050] The detection sensor 21 and the detection camera 22 are tilted at a predetermined angle and direction on a bracket to correspond to the centrifugal culture chamber 12. The detection sensor 21 adopts a non-contact pH and DO fiber optic probe, and a sensor patch is provided on the inner wall of the lower chamber 122. When the detection sensor 21 corresponds to the sensor patch, the pH value and dissolved oxygen level of the current culture medium in the centrifugal culture chamber 12 can be detected after data collection and processing. The collected pH value and DO value can be used as a basis for the gas path control system to adjust the gas concentration. The detection camera 22 can, for example, adopt an industrial CCD camera, which collects image information in the centrifugal culture chamber 12 and compares it with a preset stratified image. When the comparison is consistent, it can be determined that the stratification is completed.
