A pack includes at least one stack with Petri dishes which extends in a longitudinal direction, a connecting device which holds the at least one stack together, and an outer packaging which surrounds the at least one stack and which can be opened to remove the at least one stack.

The instant disclosure provides a system comprising a plurality of stacked bioreactors, wherein the system is configured to provide a substantially equal flow rate of fluid and pressure drop through each of the plurality of bioreactors. In some embodiments, the flow of the fluid through each of the plurality of bioreactors is configured to generate physiological shear rates to induce a biological source material in the bioreactors to produce target biological products.

A device for culturing specimens may include a housing and a conveyor disposed within the housing, where the conveyor is translatable in vertical directions. The device may further include a plurality of plate holders disposed along a length of the conveyor, such that each plate holder of the plurality of plate holders can be moved to different positions along the length of the conveyor by a translation of the conveyor in the vertical directions. The device may further include an isolation chamber movable between a first position and a second position. The isolation chamber may include an opening and a door. The isolation chamber may be configured such that when the isolation chamber is in the second position, a first plate holder of the plurality of plate holders is isolated from a rest of the housing by the isolation chamber.

A device for in vitro culture of embryos includes: an array having at least one well formed therein; and a bottom surface formed in the well and made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The use of the culture vessel having the well bottom surface made of PDMS has the effect of further increasing the blastocyst formation rate of embryos compared to the use of conventional arrays made of plastic.

A biological sheet culture device includes a scaffold, a number of culture dishes for culturing biological sheets positioned on the scaffold and at least one fluid channel configured to traverse each culture dish.

Provided is a sample processing method that liquefies a medium solution by making a liquid that liquefies the medium solution act on a sample formed by gelating or solidifying the medium solution that is supported by a substrate while an observation subject is included therein, while maintaining a state in which the medium solution is supported by the substrate while the observation subject is included therein.

Disclosed herein are cell processing systems, devices, and methods thereof. A system for cell processing may comprise a plurality of instruments each independently configured to perform one or more cell processing operations upon a cartridge, and a robot capable of moving the cartridge between each of the plurality of instruments.

2D and 3D cell culture containers formed from blends of poly-L-lactide and poly-D-lactide provide growth surfaces for adherent cells and do not require surface treatment or coating to support mammalian cell growth. The cell culture containers are transparent, heat tolerant, and are environmentally degradable and suitable for composting in landfills.

An automatic processing device of culture plates (2) for microbiological samples, wherein the processing device (1) includes a support frame (3); a slide (4) provided with a seating (5) configured for removably housing a culture plate (2) and movably mounted on the support frame (3) so as to be selectively displaceable between a first loading position, a plurality of image-acquiring positions, and a first unloading; a camera (6) of a linear type, provided with an optic (7) of a telecentric type and a trilinear sensor, and arranged according to a vertical axis (8) such as to acquire, at an image-acquiring zone, a multiplicity of linear images of corresponding linear portions of an upper surface of the culture plate (2), during the displacing of the slide (4); a first lighting device (11) orientated such as to illuminate the linear portions of an upper surface of the culture plate (2); an advancing device (14) of the slide (4) configured such as to enable obtaining a constant and substantially vibration-free advancing speed of the slide (4) in the image-acquiring zone; and an electronic control device (9) of a functioning of the camera (6), of the lighting device and of the advancing device (14).
