Title:
CAPILLARY CULTURE DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/230968
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a capillary culture device comprising: a main body formed as a hollow tubular body and having a culture portion which is formed in the middle region thereof and in which an embryo is cultured; a filter disposed on one side of the culture portion of the main body so as to allow only a culture fluid flowing along the main body to pass therethrough; a permeable membrane disposed in the other side of the culture portion of the main body so as to control the release of the embryo, which is cultured in the culture portion, from the culture portion; and a culture fluid pump which is connected to the end of the main body by a flow tube through which a fluid flows, so as to control the supply and flow direction of a culture fluid flowing into the hollow main body. Therefore, to improve low-efficiency culture of embryos and ova, the present invention can increase culture efficiency by using a capillary mimicking physical and biological characteristics of a living body, can measure impedance at each differentiation stage of an embryo and thus can make a quantitative study of the culture process thereof, and after the culture of the embryo is completed, can extract the embryo by changing the flow direction of a culture fluid.
