PARTICLE SETTLER FOR USE IN CELL CULTURE

摘要

A device (1) for separating particles from a bulk liquid, such as viable hybridoma cells from antibody-containing liquid medium, comprises a plurality of settlement plates (3), or other surfaces, being inclined to the vertical, and a pump or other means for causing liquid containing the particles to flow upwardly over the surfaces at such a rate as to allow particles to be separated from the bulk liquid to form sediment layers on the surfaces and slide down them for collection at an appropriate point (11).
