Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of cell culture, in particular to a totally-enclosed cell culture system.
Background
In recent years, CAR-T cell immunotherapy has been considered as one of the most promising therapies for combating cancer. There are many other incomparable advantages to this therapy, such as CAR-T cells can have multiple targeting sites, improving tumor treatment accuracy, and the course of action is not limited by MHC (major histocompatibility complex); the CAR-T cells have wider tumor killing range and longer effect; strong technical properties, strong replicability, etc. In 2018, two CD19 CAR-T cell drugs (kymeriah and yescata, respectively) were approved by the FDA, which gave good results in the treatment of hematological malignancies. However, CAR-T cell immunotherapy still has many limitations, such as the preparation of CAR-T cells. In the CAR-T treatment process, the T cells subjected to technical transformation are subjected to in vitro culture, so that the number of cells meeting the treatment requirement (hundreds of millions or even billions of CAR-T cells are needed for a patient in general) is achieved, and then the cells are returned to the patient for targeted killing of cancer cells, however, the in vitro culture time of the CAR-T cells is longer due to the current technical means, so that the clinical treatment period is prolonged.
Cell culture (cell culture) is a method of simulating in vitro an in vivo environment (sterility, proper temperature, ph, certain nutritional conditions, etc.) to survive, grow, reproduce and maintain major structures and functions. Cell culture techniques are important and commonly used techniques in cell biology research methods, and a large number of cells can be obtained by culturing cells through the cell culture techniques, and signal transduction, anabolism, growth and proliferation of the cells and the like of the cells can be studied.
At present, most of cell culture is manually operated culture, and when a large amount of cultured cells are required for industrialization, a large amount of labor cost and time cost are required, and meanwhile, as the burden of operators is increased, the risk of error is also greatly increased; in addition, artificial culture cannot accurately control the environment of cell growth, which is unfavorable for cell growth.

The carbon dioxide passage or the oxygen passage has constant gas flow rate during ventilation, and the ventilation capacity can be adjusted by controlling the on-off time of the passage switch. The longer the open time, the greater the ventilation. The mode is simple and accurate in ventilation control and controllable in accessory cost.

After the gas is injected, the gas concentration sensing module is used for measuring the gas concentration value after the open passage is mixed for a period of time. In general, the shorter the aeration period, the shorter the required break-even time. The gas refers to oxygen or carbon dioxide. The passage means an oxygen passage or a carbon dioxide passage.

The stirrer is driven in a non-contact mode by adopting the magnetic stirring principle, and compared with a mode of directly driving a rotating shaft of the stirrer by adopting a motor, the method can ensure the cleanness and convenient maintenance of the cell culture environment in the culture tank. The reason is that the motor is adopted to directly drive the rotating shaft of the stirrer, the motor is usually required to be arranged outside the culture tank, and then the rotating shaft of the stirrer must extend out of the culture tank, so that strict sealing between the rotating shaft of the stirrer and the culture tank in a culture environment for a long time is required to be ensured, the complexity of the system is increased, the maintenance is difficult, and the abrasion of the sealing element per se may pollute the culture system.

Meanwhile, the length of the air inlet part perpendicular to the bottom surface direction of the cover body is larger than that of the air outlet part, and the air inlet cover has the beneficial effects that compared with the arrangement that the length of air inlet is equal to or shorter than that of air outlet, the concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide in a culture system can be regulated more rapidly. The gas components of the inlet gas are blended with different stages of culture, the proportion of carbon dioxide of the inlet gas in the initial stage is properly increased, and a certain amount of carbon dioxide is also generated by cell respiration with the progress of culture, so that the proportion of carbon dioxide in the inlet gas can be reduced.
