DEVICE FOR CULTIVATING CELLS

摘要

The invention related to a device for cultivating cells comprising: a lower part comprising at least two lower compartments, a lower wall separating the two lower compartments, and a semi-porous membrane covering the lower compartments, the semi-porous membrane comprising an upper surface intended to receive the cells; a first upper part and a second upper part intended to be fitted onto the lower part, in order to obtain selectively: a first configuration of the device wherein the first upper part is fitted onto the lower part, the first upper part forming an upper compartment wherein a culture medium can flow, in order to apply shear stress to the cells; a second configuration of the device wherein the second upper part is fitted onto the lower part, the second upper part comprising at least two upper compartments, a wall separating the two upper compartments, and injection openings for injecting a substance to be tested in each upper compartment, the wall of the second upper part facing the wall of the lower element and being in contact with the semi-porous membrane so as to prevent a leakage of the injected substance from an upper compartment to another.
