APPARATUS FOR CULTURING CELL/TISSUE

摘要

An apparatus for culturing cell/tissue whereby a physical stimulus required for the proliferation or growth of the material under culture such as cells or a tissue can be imparted thereto. This apparatus is provided with a chamber (culture chamber 4) in which a material to be cultured (matrix 8) is contained and a liquid culture medium (6) is supplied, a pressurizing means (pressurizing plates 10 and 11) provided in a movable manner in the chamber and moving therein to physically stimulate the material under culture by pressurizing, and a driving means (a pressure unit 22 and an electromagnet unit 32) which is not in contact with the pressurizing means but imparts from the outside of the chamber driving force to the pressurizing means for physically stimulating the material under culture.
