For example, when culturing adherent cells, the inner surface of the recess is treated with oxygen plasma for the purpose of improving adhesion to the inner surface of the recess, such as cells and cell scaffolding materials (eg, extracellular matrix). As a result, surface charges are introduced, and as a result, the inner surface of the recess is hydrophilized.

That is, if this condition is satisfied, it is advantageous when forming an extracellular matrix layer serving as a scaffold for adherent cells in the central region 412 of the bottom surface 41 of the recess 4. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, when forming the extracellular matrix layer, the extracellular matrix solution M added to the central region 412 of the bottom surface 41 of the recess 4 and spreading toward the periphery of the bottom surface 41 is added to the bottom surface 41. When the outer edge region 411 is reached, the water repellent layer 5 formed in the outer edge region 411 is repelled to form a droplet and stays in the central region 412.
- the extracellular matrix can be efficiently adsorbed to a part or the whole of the central region 412.

If the water-repellent layer 5 is not formed in the outer edge region 411 of the bottom surface 41 and the water-repellent layer 5 is formed only on the inner peripheral surface 42, the extracellular matrix solution M can be easily applied to the inner peripheral surface 42 of the recess 4. Therefore, the water repellency is lowered, and the effect of suppressing the generation of the concave meniscus is impaired.
- the water-repellent layer 5 is formed not only on the inner peripheral surface 42 of the recess 4 but also on a region (that is, the outer edge region 411) that further enters the bottom surface 41, thereby forming the outer edge region 411 on the bottom surface 41. Even if the extracellular matrix is adsorbed on the formed water-repellent layer 5 and water repellency is impaired, the extracellular matrix is adsorbed on the water-repellent layer 5 formed on the inner peripheral surface 42 of the recess 4 and the water-repellent layer is formed. It is possible to prevent the surface of the layer 5 from becoming hydrophilic. For this reason, it can prevent that the component in a culture solution is attracted to the water repellent layer 5 formed in the internal peripheral surface 42 of the recessed part 4, and generation
- the bottom surface 41 and the inner peripheral surface 42 of the recess 4 have hydrophilicity.
- the bottom surface 41 of the recess 4 it is preferable that at least the central region 412 has hydrophilicity when the cells cultured in the culture vessel 10A are adherent cells. That is, if this condition is satisfied, it is advantageous when forming an extracellular matrix layer serving as a scaffold for adherent cells in the central region 412 of the bottom surface 41 of the recess 4. Specifically, when the extracellular matrix layer is formed, components in the extracellular matrix solution added to the central region 412 of the bottom surface 41 of the recess 4 are easily adsorbed to the central region 412 of the bottom surface 41.
