Cell culturing device with imaging capabilities
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230416663A1) outlines a method for cell culturing that involves assembling a device with specific components such as a lid with an optically clear window, a fluid distribution channel, and a porous media pad. The method includes introducing sample media into the device, placing it in an incubator, retrieving it after a set time, subjecting it to excitation light to cause microbial growth to exhibit fluorescence, and capturing an image of the fluorescence. Additional steps involve pumping air into the device, recording fluorescent objects, capturing images over time, measuring the objects, comparing measurements to growth criteria, and characterizing objects accordingly.
Furthermore, the method includes pumping nutrient media into the media pad, pressurizing the device to control nutrient media flow, removing excess sample fluid, introducing rinse fluids, forming a sterile seal between the lid and base, and sterilizing the cassette. The method also allows for additional air to be pumped into the cassette to ensure all fluids pass through the membrane and media pad. These steps aim to provide a comprehensive and controlled environment for cell culturing, monitoring microbial growth, and ensuring accurate measurements and characterization of fluorescent objects present in the device. The method's detailed procedures and components offer a systematic approach to cell culturing and analysis, potentially enhancing research and development processes in various fields.
