Cell culture apparatus and method.

摘要

Apparatus for the agitated suspension culturing of mammalian cells comprises a flask (10) in which the culture medium and cells (16, 17) are gently agitated by the slow rotation of agitator means (20) suspended downwardly in the culture medium and having at least one flexible sheet (25) with a relatively large surface area which is positioned on the agitator in a manner to allow it to billow like a sail as liquid spills from its trailing edge during rotation of the agitator means.
