CULTURE VESSEL AND METHOD FOR CULTURING BIOLOGICAL CELLS IN HANGING DROPS

摘要

A culture vessel (100), which is designed for culturing biological cells (1) in hanging drops (2), comprises a vessel wall (10), which has a cover portion (11) and a floor portion (12), wherein the cover portion (11) is designed to provide a culturing surface (13), and the floor portion (12) is designed to receive a liquid (3), the vessel wall (10) encloses an interior (20) of the culture vessel on all sides, the culturing surface (13) has holding elements (14), which are designed to position the drops (2), wherein the culturing surface (13) can receive the drops (2) hanging freely in the interior (20), and the vessel wall (10) is movable such that the holding elements (14) can be wetted with the liquid (3) from the floor portion (12). A method for culturing biological cells (1) in hanging drops (2) in the culture vessel (100) is also described.
