An incubator for cell and tissue culture under controlled atmospheric conditions has a primary air flow control device that forms a primary, preferably laminar flow, air veil across an opening that allows access to the cells or tissue cultures disposed within the incubator. Preferably, most if not all of the air in the primary (laminar flow) air veil is recirculated, and a secondary air flow control device is used that forms a secondary, preferably laminar flow, air veil between the primary (laminar flow) air veil and a user of the incubator.

In order to induce aging while cutting the costs associated with adding cytokines at different aging stages, in a system for aging induction including a first culture chamber for perfusing, with a culture medium, a subject of aging-induction, the subject of aging-induction being derived from a living organism; a second culture chamber for perfusing, with a culture medium, a secretor that secretes a cytokine; and a control device for aging induction including a detection unit, a memory unit and a control unit, a protocol for aging induction defining a procedure of aging induction is stored, and in the control unit, an aging state of the subject of aging-induction is detected with a detection unit, and based on the protocol for aging induction, a flow rate at which the culture medium containing the cytokine secreted by the secretor is supplied to the subject of aging-induction is controlled according to the aging state of the subject of aging-induction.

A modular incubator includes a housing including one or more fastening mechanisms for attachment to a workstation frame, a platform located at the housing and defining a sample placement area, and a chamber wall structure coupled to the platform. The chamber wall structure is pivotable between a closed position against the platform to form a sample chamber and an open position in which a front end of the chamber wall structure is spaced apart from the platform to allow access to the sample placement area. The modular incubator further includes a lid coupled to and openable from the chamber wall structure to expose at least a portion of the chamber wall structure for viewing.

A multi-connector port provides an air connection for sterile air, at least one access arranged on a connecting piece, and at least one line arranged on the connecting piece. The access comprises a self-closing diaphragm.

The present invention relates to a bacteriostatic filter system for an antibody drug production process, and to a method of operating same, in which devices are configured and the system is designed so as to enable, through a control unit, the in-lining of a bacteriostatic filter cartridge and in-situ integrity testing of a bacteriostatic filter, wherein according to a result value of the integrity testing, media or buffer are transferred to a storage tank from a preparation tank, or the media or buffer transferred to the storage tank are transferred back to the preparation tank. Accordingly, the present invention can reduce the time required for filter cartridge replacement and integrity testing and implement a system having automated the transferring and backfeeding of media and buffers as well as processing liquids, and can thus reduce the amount of labor needed and shorten the processing time.

This disclosure relates to equipment utilized to manufacture chemical agents, particularly biopharmaceuticals, using Disposable Containers (DCs).

The present invention is a composting bioreactor system that continually receives biodegradable solid wastes, waste waters and exhaust gases, automatically recycles the biodegradable wastes into nutrients and heat energy, and automatically supplies the nutrients and heat into an integrated hydroponic or aquaponic system. This invention together with integrated food growing system may be installed onsite such as balconies, backyards and premises of restaurants and food factories etc. therefore may lead to zero mileage targets both for recycling wastes and for supplying foods. This invention integrates composting process and aquaponic technology together and may establish a closed-loop recirculation of both water and gases therefore upgrades aquaponics into compoponics. A compoponic system has both soil and soilless growing beds and mimics nature recirculating nutrients, carbon and energy among human being, animals, microorganisms and plants by way of photosynthesis, slow burning by cellular respiration and burning by combustion.

A method for producing a mature adipocyte-containing composition includes: a cleavage-filtration step for cleaving and filtering fatty tissue that is not treated with an enzyme and obtaining a minimal fat; a minimal fat culture step for culturing the minimal fat, after the cleavage-filtration step, by means of a culture medium, and obtaining mature adipocytes; and a mature adipocyte-containing composition obtaining step for obtaining a mature adipocyte-containing composition including the mature adipocytes and a conditioned medium obtained from the minimal fat culture step, wherein the culture medium contains an autoserum or contains FBS, hydrocortisone, and FGF-2.

A bioreaction container including a culture chamber configured to contain a culture solution and a life form in an inner space, the culture chamber having an open upper end; a chamber cover portion coupled to the upper end of the culture chamber, the chamber cover portion having a protruding tube provided on one side thereof so as to communicate with the inner space; a filter cap coupled to the protruding tube in an attachable/detachable manner so as to open/close the protruding tube; a gas introduction portion configured to penetrate the chamber cover portion and to communicate with the inner space so as to supply a predetermined gas into the inner space; and an acidity/basicity adjustment portion installed on the chamber cover portion while containing an adjustment solution that adjusts pH of the culture solution such that the adjustment solution is discharged into the inner space by pneumatic pressure.

An incubator 1 includes a cultivating chamber 4 for cultivating culture in a plurality of containers 3 and a supply device 5 provided outside the cultivating chamber 4 and supplying steam into the cultivating chamber 4 for humidification. The supply device 5 includes a supply chamber 5A in which a tray 42 for reserving water is accommodated and an ultrasonic atomizing device 43 for atomizing water. The water in the tray 42 is easily made into steam by the ultrasonic atomizing device 43, passes through an HEPA filter 45 provided in an opening portion 5B and is supplied into the circulation passage 37 of the cultivating chamber 4.
