Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a culture device technical field especially, it relates to a cell culture solution collection device of controllable flow rate. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, immune cell treatment technology develops rapidly at home and abroad, and shows great potential in dealing with various diseases. Immune cell therapy collects human peripheral blood or umbilical cord blood, separates immune cells in vitro, cultures, expands, and finally collects cells, and returns to the patient's body. When immune cells are cultured and expanded on a large scale, cell culture bags and a large amount of fresh culture medium are needed to provide nutrients required for cell growth; when collecting cells, cells and culture medium need to be discharged from the cell culture bag, which needs manual or related device to assist operation.

[0003] When collecting cell culture solution, the operator holds the cell culture bag to pour the liquid. With the outflow of the culture solution, the liquid in the cell culture bag gradually decreases, and the pressure gradually decreases. The operator needs to raise the hand to make the liquid flow out. This process needs to constantly adjust the position of the hand, which is not convenient and has low efficiency. In the late stage of liquid discharge, a small amount of cell culture solution may be retained in the culture bag and not easily discharged, causing waste. The existing cell culture solution collection device is mostly used to squeeze the cell bag to discharge the liquid, which may cause extrusion to the cells and affect the activity of the cells. Moreover, when using these devices, the flow rate of the cell culture solution cannot be controlled, and the liquid may be easily spilled and contaminated if not operated properly.
