Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cell culture box technology, and more specifically, to a cell culture box with visualized environmental control. Background Technology

[0002] Cell culture is an important experimental technique in fields such as biology and medicine. Cell culture refers to a method of simulating the in vivo environment (sterile, suitable temperature, pH and certain nutritional conditions, etc.) in vitro to enable cells to survive, grow, reproduce and maintain their main structures and functions. It requires sterile conditions and a certain suitable temperature (37-38℃) for them to grow well.

[0003] Traditional cell culture chambers can only provide basic environmental control functions such as temperature, humidity, and gas concentration. However, in the cell culture process, researchers often need to observe the growth status of cells in real time. This can only be done by taking out cell samples and observing them under a microscope. This operation is not only cumbersome, but also frequently taking out samples will disrupt the stable environment inside the culture chamber, affecting the normal growth of cells and making it inconvenient to observe during the culture process, thus affecting the effectiveness of the product. Therefore, a cell culture chamber with visualized environmental control is proposed. Utility Model Content
