Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cell culture, in particular to a cell culture device with a feed supplement structure. Background Art

[0002] In the field of cell biology research and application, cell culture is a crucial technology. As the core equipment of cell culture, the performance and quality of cell culture devices directly affect the efficiency and quality of cell growth. At present, there are many types of cell culture devices on the market, but they still have some shortcomings in function and design.

[0003] For example, a cell culture device proposed in a Chinese patent, with patent announcement number CN220201949U, realizes the culture and observation of cells through a specific structural design. When in use, the device can provide a relatively stable growth environment for cells and allow operators to observe and record cells outside the device. However, the above patent only solves the basic needs of cell culture and does not fully consider the problem of feeding in the cell culture process. During the long-term cell culture process, the nutrients in the culture medium will gradually be consumed. If they cannot be replenished in time, it will seriously affect the growth and reproduction of cells.

[0004] Some existing cell culture devices also have deficiencies in their fixing and supporting structures. Some devices use simple fixing methods, such as screws or clips, which are not only cumbersome to operate, but also easy to damage the device when replacing or adjusting components. At the same time, the fixing structure of some devices is not stable enough and is prone to shaking or shifting during rotation or feeding, thereby affecting the continuity and reliability of the culture process.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of existing cell culture devices, a cell culture device with a feeding structure is proposed. Through its unique design and working principle, this device realizes an efficient, stable, safe and easy-to-operate cell culture process, while solving problems such as feeding problems, insufficient fixing and supporting structures, and low levels of intelligence and automation, providing strong support for cell biology research and applications.
