Vessel and method for cell isolation, culture and proliferation
First Claim
1. A sealable vessel for cell isolation, culture and proliferation, the vessel being a container-like structural body in which isolation, culture and proliferation of target cells of interest can be performed,wherein (A) the vessel comprises a cell separation unit, a primary culture unit and a main vessel unit;
- (B) the cell separation unit is a structural body comprising a cell separation membrane having fine pores capable of isolating cells;
(C) the primary culture unit is a container-like structural body that has a culture surface for primary culture on which cells that have passed through the cell separation membrane can be cultured and a releasing structure through which cells and a liquid that have been held inside the primary culture unit can be freely released toward a unit having a culture surface for a subsequent step; and
(D) the main vessel unit is a container-like structural body that has a culture surface for cell proliferation on which cells that have been released from a culture unit for a preceding step can be cultured, an area of the culture surface for cell proliferation being larger than that of a culture surface of the culture unit for the preceding step, the container-like structural body of the main vessel unit having a structure in which the cell separation unit and all of the culture unit/units for preceding step/steps can be stored.

Abstract
A sealable vessel for cell isolation, culture and proliferation comprising a cell separation unit, comprising a cell separation membrane having fine pores capable of isolating cells; a primary culture unit, having a culture surface on which cells having passed through the cell separation membrane can be cultured and a releasing structure through which cells and a liquid held inside the primary culture unit can be freely released toward a unit having a culture surface for a subsequent step; and a main vessel unit, having a culture surface for cell proliferation on which cells that have been released from a culture unit for a preceding step can be cultured, the main vessel unit having a structure in which the cell separation unit and all of the culture unit/units for preceding step/steps can be stored.
