Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of stem cell culture boxes, in particular to a stem cell culture box suitable for automated cell culture. Background Art
[0002] Traditional cell culture incubators use ventilation systems to control the gas composition inside the incubator, usually by injecting pure carbon dioxide gas into the interior and mixing it with the internal air to achieve the desired carbon dioxide concentration. This process requires the use of computing devices such as chips to ensure the accuracy of the gas composition.
[0003] However, in traditional incubators, gas mixing takes time, usually 8 hours or even longer for the carbon dioxide concentration in each layer inside the entire incubator to reach the desired level. Such a delay may affect the growth rate and quality of cells, thereby reducing production efficiency and product quality. In traditional cell culture incubators, manual intervention is essential. The cell factory needs to be manually placed in the incubator and taken out when needed. This manual-dependent operation may not only affect the stability of the culture environment, but is also not suitable for large-scale production automation needs.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a new incubator to solve the problems of slow carbon dioxide concentration regulation and dependence on manual operation in traditional cell culture incubators, and to improve the efficiency and quality of cell culture. Utility Model Content
