Abstract
Cell culture environment monitoring system (6) for monitoring parameters relevant to cell growth in at least one culture dish (4) containing a cell growth medium (14), including at least one sensing device (22, 22′) configured to measure environmental parameters relevant to cell growth, and a tray (24) supporting said at least one culture dish. The sensing device is configured for mounting inside said culture dish at least partially within said cell growth medium, and comprises an RFID transponder (34). The tray (24) comprises an RFID base station (44) configured to interrogate the RFID transponder to obtain measurements of said parameters relevant to cell growth.

- 19. Cell culture environment monitoring system for monitoring parameters relevant to cell growth in at least one culture recipient containing a cell growth medium, including at least one sensing device comprising an RFID transponder, and a tray supporting said at least one culture recipient comprising an RFID base station, wherein said sensing device is a disposable single-use sensing device configured to measure environmental parameters relevant to cell growth and is independent from the culture recipient and configured for mounting inside said culture recipient and for immersion at least partially within said cell growth medium for measuring at least one parameter within the cell growth medium, and said RFID base station is configured to interrogate the RFID transponder to obtain measurements of said parameters relevant to cell growth, including said at least one parameter within the cell growth medium.
- 30. Cell culture growth system comprising a plurality of disposable single-use culture recipients, a cell growth medium contained in the culture recipients, and a cell culture environment monitoring system for monitoring parameters relevant to cell growth in the plurality of culture recipients, including a plurality of disposable single-use sensing devices configured to measure environmental parameters relevant to cell growth in said plurality of culture recipients, and a tray supporting said plurality of culture recipients, wherein each sensing device comprises an RFID transponder and is configured for mounting inside a corresponding said culture recipient, and said tray comprises an RFID base station configured to interrogate the RFID transponder to obtain measurements of said parameters relevant to cell growth from said plurality of disposable single-use sensing devices positioned inside the culture recipients.
