Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système pour évaluer l'état d'exfoliation d'une culture cellulaire en forme de feuille, ledit système comprenant : une unité de mesure pour obtenir des informations sur la distribution des cellules dans un récipient de culture dans lequel une suspension cellulaire est ensemencée ; et une unité d'analyse pour analyser les informations obtenues par l'unité de mesure et calculer le degré de décollement de la culture cellulaire en forme de feuille. L'unité de mesure est conçue pour mesurer les cellules dans le récipient de culture dans les sens inférieur et/ou latéral du récipient de culture en contact avec la suspension cellulaire.
