A device (1) for accommodating a disposable container (44) has a receptacle (10) with at least one receptacle wall (16) that defines an interior of the receptacle (10) for accommodating the disposable container (44). The device includes a temperature control unit for controlling the temperature of the receptacle wall (16). A lighting device (50) is located on an inner face of the receptacle wall (16) that faces the interior of the receptacle (10) and that has the temperature controlled by the temperature control unit. The lighting device (50) is designed to emit light into the interior of the receptacle (10).

A cell culture apparatus for conducting cell culture in which a culture medium is supplied together with cells to a container formed of a flexible material, wherein, a base having a flat mounting surface that holds the container is provided, partition pieces that can be protruded from the mounting surface for a prescribed height are embedded in the base, and when the partition pieces are accommodated into the base, upper end surfaces of the partition pieces are flushed with the mounting surface.

A cell culture container includes a container main body comprising a gas-permeable plastic film, and an injection/discharge port. A peripheral portion of the container main body is sealed, and the container main body has a bulging shape on a top surface side of the container main body. A plurality of concave portions serving as cell culture parts are provided on a bottom surface of the container main body.

A variety of fill options is provided for a cell processing system. Certain options relate to a syringe assembly that receives a product directly from a separator. Other options relate to a filling system associated with the cell processing system, the filling system comprising one or more filling stations, each with at least one container, that receive product from a product container associated with the cell processing system.

An anaerobic digester is provided. The anaerobic digester includes a biogas storage container comprising a semi-permeable membrane separating the biogas storage container into a first space and a second space, such that the first space is configured to be methane enriched and the second space is configured to be CO.sub.2 enriched. The anaerobic digester further includes a cover positioned over the biogas storage container for protecting the biogas storage container against the elements.

The present invention generally relates to nanoscale wires and nanoelectronics, which in some aspects may be embedded in biological structures, such as tissues, organoids, organs, organisms, and the like. For example, one aspect is generally directed to stretchable cell scaffolds, which may be connected to electrical circuits. In some cases, a biological structure may form around the scaffold and deform the cell scaffold as it forms, thereby causing the cell scaffold to become embedded within the biological structure. The scaffold may be connectable in certain embodiments to an external device, e.g., to determine a property of the cell scaffold (e.g., an electrical property), and/or to apply a stimulus (e.g., an electrical stimulus) to the biological structure. Other aspects of the invention are generally directed to methods of making or using such cell scaffolds, kits including such cell scaffolds, biological structures containing such cell scaffolds, or the like.

A perfusion cell culture device includes a driving module and a plurality of cell culture modules. The driving module includes a driving source connecting opening and a chamber. The chamber and the driving source connecting opening are connected. Each of the culture modules includes a fluid channel, a first elastic element, two flow direction controlling units and a cell culture zone. The fluid channel is disposed above the chamber, the first elastic element is disposed between the fluid channel and the chamber, the two flow direction controlling units are respectively disposed on two ends of the fluid channel and connected to the fluid channel selectively, and the cell culture zone is connected to the two flow direction controlling units.

Disclosed herein are platforms, systems, and methods including a cell culture system that includes a cell culture container comprising a cell culture, the cell culture receiving input cells, a cell imaging subsystem configured to acquire images of the cell culture, a computing subsystem configured to perform a cell culture process on the cell culture according to the images acquired by the cell imaging subsystem, and a cell editing subsystem configured to edit the cell culture to produce output cell products according to the cell culture process.
