A magnetic tool (10) has a probe (12) made of a material having very high permeability and a magnetic field source (14). The magnetic tool (10) has a body (18) which supports the probe (12) and the magnetic field source (14). The source (14) can be moved move within the body 18/cylinder (20). The probe (12) is in the form of a mu-metal needle formed with a sharpened point at its tip (16) and having an opposite end (26) embedded or otherwise fixed in the body (18). Therefore the tip (16) is at a fixed distance from the end of the body (18). The tool (10) is arranged to vary magnetic coupling between the magnetic field source (14) and the probe (12) between a maximum when the source (14) contacts the end (26) of the probe (12) and a minimum when the source is moved away from the probe (16).

A method for producing a living tissue and organ includes: collecting medical image information of a target tissue and organ, and converting the medical image information into three-dimensional image information; performing machine recognition and multiple feature comparisons on the three-dimensional image information, and generating a primary three-dimensional model according to physiological structure data of tissues and organs in a tissue and organ database and a residual profile of the target tissue and organ; generating a complete three-dimensional model by producing an internal microstructure of the primary three-dimensional model with reference to the tissue and organ database; producing a full-scale physical model based on the complete three-dimensional model by an additive manufacturing process; and performing a living cell-based tissue reconstruction in the full-scale physical model to produce a living tissue and organ.

To provide a cell culture container and a cell culture system that can perform cell sorting, culturing, cell processing, and the like in one space and a volume of the space can be varied to suit respective steps.

A cell culture container includes first molecules each bondable to target cells to be cultured, being immobilized to the container via a stimulus degradable linker, the container having a variable volume.

A cell culture system included a cell culture container, including first molecules each bondable to target cells to be cultured, being immobilized to the container via a stimulus degradable linker, the container having a variable volume, and a stimulus imparting device that imparts a stimulus to the stimulus degradable linker

A cell culture kit is provided. The cell culture kit allows a cultured cell to be easily separated when the cell is cultured and separates a cell without separate trypsinization for subculture.

An impedance spectroscopy biosensor is provided that is fabricated on a stretchable substrate. The stretchable substrate is integrated with an impedance biosensor that undergoes cyclic strain without cracking. The biosensor is formed by curing an elastomer precursor while on a pre-tensioned membrane that includes a conductive electrode. The resulting elastomeric material is released from the support after curing which releases the pre-tensioned state to produce the biosensor.

A cultivation bag assembly for the cultivation of microbes, fungi and other organisms includes a bag having first and second walls joined along side edges to define a bag interior for containing a food substrate and an organism to be cultivated. At least one of the first and second walls is constructed of a layer of water-vapor permeable material to allow the passage of water vapor therethrough. A bag wall overlay layer formed from gas impermeable layer is releasably coupled to the bag. The overlay layer overlays the layer of water-vapor permeable material to prevent the passage of gases therethrough. The bag wall overlay layer has an opening with a gas filter patch covering the opening to allow the passage of oxygen and carbon dioxide gases through the gas filter patch to and from ambient air to facilitate incubation of the organism within the interior of the bag. The bag wall overlay layer is removable from the bag to allow water vapor to pass through the layer of water-vapor permeable material to ambient air facilitate drying of the bag contents after incubation is complete.

According to present disclosure, there is disclosed an algae growth and cultivation system that provides a cost-efficient means of producing algae biomass as feedstock for algae-based products, such as, biofuel manufacture, and desirably impacts alternative/renewable energy production, nutrient recovery from waste streams, and valued byproducts production. The system as discussed herein is an integrated systems approach to wastewater treatment, algal strains selection for byproducts production, and recycle of algal-oil extraction waste or additional algae harvested as feedstock for fertilizer production. Embodiments of a system as discussed herein present an economically viable algae production system and process that allows algae-derived products such as biofuels, fertilizer, etc. to compete with petroleum products in the marketplace.

A scaffold material for cell culturing using a nucleic acid aptamer that can be chemically synthesized, containing no animal-derived components, and having high biocompatibility is provided. A cell scaffold material containing an E-cadherin binding nucleic acid aptamer.

A cell culture container characterized by being equipped with a container main body and a flat plate attached onto one surface of the container main body, wherein the container main body is equipped with an inflow port through which a liquid can flow into the container main body, a passage through which the liquid flowing into the container main body from the inflow port can pass, and an outflow port through which the liquid passing through the passage can flow out from the container main body, and wherein, on the bottom surface of the passage, multiple cell-seeding areas in which cells passing through the passage can be seeded are arranged side by side along the passage.
