Culture processing equipment

Abstract

The invention relates to a culture processing device comprising several processing chambers (r1) to (r4) divided corresponding to the first to fourth processing processes, a container moving device (23) that moves the container (culture container (3) and centrifuge tube (4) from the processing chamber (r) of the upstream process to the processing chamber (r) of the downstream process to perform a series of processes. The culture processing device includes an air conditioning device (10) for supplying cleaned air from the upper parts of the processing chambers (r1) to (r4) and discharging cleaned air from the lower parts of the processing chambers for ventilation.When the container holding a different culture than the one held in the previously processed container is processed, the container moving device (23) moves the previously processed container from the processing chamber (r) of the upstream process to the processing chamber (r) of the adjacent downstream process and, subsequently, the air conditioning device (10) ventilates the processing chamber (r) of the upstream process for a predetermined period and, subsequently, the container moving device brings the container holding the different culture into the processing chamber (r) of the upstream process.
