Title:
CYTOMETRIC MECHANISM, CELL CULTURE DEVICE COMPRISING SAME, AND CYTOMETRIC METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/063364
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a cytometric mechanism, cell culture device, and cytometric method with which it is possible to measure a cell survival rate or the like rapidly and at high accuracy, in a manner not dependent on a worker's skill level and without having to stain cultured cells. A cytometric mechanism 16 comprises: a flow path through which a cell suspension is made to flow; a liquid drive unit 7 for sending the cell suspension which is in the flow path; and a computation unit 18 for irradiating, with irradiation light from a light source 22, a cell suspension flowing through a flow cell 23, and for finding a cell survival rate in the cell suspension on the basis of a resulting forward scattered light intensity and transmittance and/or side scattered light intensity. The invention is provided with a calibration curve database 18d for storing, in advance, respective calibration curves indicative of a relationship between viable cell concentration and forward scattered light intensity, a relationship between dead cell concentration and the transmittance, and a relationship between a cell survival rate and the side scattered light intensity.
