Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a method for liquid culture of cell and apparatus therefor designed to ensure small-scale culture to be conducted in the same accuracy as that for large-scale tank culture by suspending a stirrer having a magnetic material and blades from the free surface of a culture fluid through buoyancy and by rotating the stirrer through the external magnetic force at the bottom of a culture tank. CONSTITUTION:A stirrer 4 having a magnetic material 7, blades 6 and a float 5 is suspended from the free surface of a culture fluid 24 through buoyancy and rotated by rotating a magnetic material 8 placed in proximity to the center of the outer bottom of a tank. With this method and scheme, the stirring means does not occupy the upper part of the tank, thereby enabling sensors and various piping inlets and outlets to be arranged and avoiding cell injury because of the absence of any sliding plane under liquid level.

However, in the case of using a small scale, that is, a culture tank having an amount of the infusion liquid of 500 ml or less, it is assumed that the attachments such as electrodes and pipes are inserted from the side and from the top of the tank. However, since the diameter of the tank with 500 ml of the filling liquid is at most 10 cm and less than 7 cm with 300 ml, the depth of the liquid of the terminals and piping is apt to be insufficient from the side, and the structure inside the tank is greatly restricted. The stirring method is (1)
As described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-95769, it is common to provide a stirring shaft at the center of the tank lid and a drive source at the top of the lid.
In this method, most of the space on the upper surface of the tank is occupied by the shaft seal portion and the drive source, so that there is a caveat that other sensors and piping cannot be arranged. As an alternative, (2) Edited by Yukiaki Kuroda, Tissue culture technique, p250-253 (1984)

As disclosed in No. 6 (published on October 2, 1992), a method of rotating a liquid by rotating it with an external magnetic force while keeping a permanent magnet piece in contact with the bottom of the tank is also known. However, since the rotor slides, the cells are damaged in the culture of biological cells, particularly fragile animal cells and filamentous fungi, and effective culture is difficult. Inside, (5) Hiroki Murakami, Cell control engineering, p59-69, p77-84 (1986), hanging the rotor with a rod from the top of the tank as described in Gakumadosha, outside the bottom of the tank. There is also known a method of rotating at the center or conically vibrating by magnetic force, but it also has a drawback that the upper surface of the tank is occupied.

It easily rises and easily contacts the tank wall and internal structures. On the other hand, by arranging both magnetic bodies in the vertical direction, it is possible to obtain smooth rotation and stable rotation for a long period of time. It is also possible to adjust the distance from the magnetic substance outside the tank by pulling out or driving the magnetic substance from the inside of the stirrer prior to culturing depending on the surface of the charged liquid.
