Cell container

摘要

This invention relates to methods and devices that improve the process of culturing cells and/or shipping cells from one location to another. They have the capacity to reduce the risk of contamination, regulate pressure in the medium surrounding cells, and maintain cells in a uniform distribution throughout transit. This leads to an improved level of process control relative to current methods.

主权项

1. A cell container comprised of:
a cell compartment, said cell compartment bounded at least in part by a sidewall and a bottom, and an access port, and an overflow reservoir and a fluid exit path connecting said cell compartment to said overflow reservoir, and a fluid displacement member capable of terminating fluid flow to said overflow reservoir, and means for adjusting the position of said fluid displacement member relative to the said cell compartment so that in use the fluid displacement member moves into said cell compartment when the fluid residing in said cell compartment decreases in volume.
