AUTOMATIC IN VITRO CELL CULTURE PLATFORM AND CELL CULTURE METHOD
First Claim
1. An automatic in vitro cell culture platform, comprising:
- a fluid storage device, comprising;
a first fluid storage unit for storing a cell culture medium; and
a second fluid storage unit disposed adjacent to the first fluid storage unit and for storing a waste liquid;
a channel control panel pipe-connected to the fluid storage device and comprising a valve group, wherein the valve group is for controlling a transport of the cell culture medium and the waste liquid;
a cell culture chip disposed on the channel control panel and pipe-connected thereto, and the cell culture chip comprising;
an upper chamber for culturing a cell;
a lower chamber disposed under the upper chamber and for accommodating the cell culture medium; and
a porous semipermeable membrane disposed between the upper chamber and the lower chamber, wherein the cell culture medium can flow between the upper chamber and the lower chamber through the porous semipermeable membrane, and a liquid level of the cell culture medium in the cell culture chip is higher than a level of the porous semipermeable membrane in the cell culture chip; and
a fluid drive unit pipe-connected to the channel control panel and for driving the cell culture medium and the waste liquid to flow between the fluid storage device and the cell culture chip through the channel control panel.
