DEVICE FOR CULTURING AND TRANSPORTING CELLS

摘要

A disposable device is provided for culturing and/or packaging and transporting ready-to-use viable cells cultured on membranes,, gels or micro porous substrata. The device includes a housing base (1) defining an interior for culturing cells. The membrane to be used for culturing the cells is placed inside the housing base and fixed with a ring (2). The base is closed by a lid (4), which would protect the underlying cells during transport as well as minimize the -volume of media used during culture as well as transport. Media leakage is prevented by the silicon gasket (3) as well as the snaps provided in the device.
