Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cell culture bags, and more particularly to a leak-proof structure for a liquid taking port of a cell culture bag. BACKGROUND

[0002] A cell culture bag is a commonly used culture container for in-vitro cell culture. Cells are placed in the cell culture bag, and the cell culture bag with the cells is placed in a culture box for culture. The cell culture bag is provided with a liquid supplementing pipe and a liquid taking pipe.

[0003] The existing cell culture bag is a sealed bag composed of a waterproof and breathable film and at least two conduits of different lengths. The conduits are a liquid supplementing pipe and a liquid taking pipe. The longer conduit is the liquid supplementing pipe, which is used for liquid supplementing and liquid pouring during cell harvesting. The liquid supplementing pipe is provided with a screw sealing cap for sealing the pipe opening. The shorter conduit is the liquid taking pipe, which is used for cell counting and liquid taking during cell culture. Since the liquid taking for counting needs to be operated multiple times, a silica gel plug is arranged at the pipe opening of the liquid taking pipe to facilitate liquid taking and prevent liquid from leaking. During the liquid taking for counting, a syringe needle is inserted into the silica gel plug for liquid taking.

[0004] However, in actual cell culture, multiple liquid taking detections are often required. After multiple insertion and extraction of the syringe needle, the silica gel plug is easily damaged, the sealing performance of the silica gel plug gradually deteriorates, liquid leakage occurs, the risk of contamination is increased, and the cell culture bag is usually placed in a carbon dioxide culture box for culture. If the cell culture bag leaks, the culture solution rich in nutrients in the cell culture bag will drip into the culture box, which will also cause microbial contamination of the entire box.

[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a leak-proof structure for a liquid taking port of a cell culture bag, which is simple to operate, prompts sealing operation, and effectively prevents liquid leakage. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
