Disclosed is a well insert for cell culture, including: a membrane support having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end being adapted to engage a well of a microplate so as to suspend the well insert therein; and a permeable membrane for supporting a tissue culture, the permeable membrane being attached at the lower end of the membrane support and sealed thereto, the permeable membrane being of brittle material. The membrane support is overmolded or fastened on to the permeable membrane so as be sealed thereto.

To provide a closed system culture vessel for realizing culturing in which an aseptic state is maintained at the time of culturing, and making the reduction of the shear stress generated during conveyance after manufacturing possible. A closed system culture vessel 201 holds a second vessel 302 consisting of an insert vessel on the inside of a first vessel 301, and a lid portion 303 of the closed system culture vessel 201 forms a closed space with the first vessel 301 and has a convex portion 305 contacting the entire outer circumference of the second vessel 302. During conveyance, the closed system culture vessel is conveyed in a state in which the culture medium for conveyance is filled within the second vessel 302.

Disclosed is a well insert for cell culture and a method of manufacturing same, where the well insert has a membrane support made of a polyolefin material and having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end being adapted to engage a well of a microplate so as to suspend the well insert therein, and a permeable membrane sealed to the membrane for supporting a tissue culture, the permeable membrane being of brittle material and transparent in both air and water.
