    摘要: A method of screening, isolating and purifying rare cells includes obtaining cell groups with rare cells from a sample, removing cells not to be screened from the cell groups, and drawing the remaining cells as a cell suspension sample. An introduction device is activated to load the cell suspension sample onto an optically-induced dielectrophoresis chip including a cell isolation zone having a division arrangement wherein at least one optical pattern is configured on the cell isolation zone for screening, isolating and purifying the rare cells. The at least one optical pattern is configured to migrate, rotate or both. The at least one optical pattern is activated to attract the rare cells into a collection tank on the chip, and a liquid drawing device is activated to draw the rare cells out of the collection tank, thereby obtaining purified rare cells from the sample.

    摘要: A cell aggregate culture vessel (1) is a vessel for culturing a cell aggregate. The cell aggregate culture vessel (1) includes a well (21) having a culture space capable of storing the cell aggregate and culture fluid and a tubular body (3) which is disposed on the well on a plane at which the well has an opening and have an inner cavity communicating with the culture space, and one or more communication portion (3a) capable of discharging the culture fluid without allowing passage of the cell aggregate to the outside of the tubular body (3) is formed in a tubular wall of the tubular body (3). The communication portion (3a) may be, for example, a slit having a width of 0.1 mm or larger and 0.5 mm or smaller.

    摘要: A particle filtering device which shortens the separation time of particles and increases the separation efficiency are provided. The particle filtering device comprises: a filtration membrane which separates a particle by filtering a sample; a first body connected to an inlet side of the filtration membrane, which supplies the sample to the inlet side of the filtration membrane; and a second body connected to an outlet side of the filtration membrane, which accommodates a permeate whose particle is separated through the filtration membrane, wherein the particle filtering device has a structure in which the permeate is accommodated in advance between the second body and the outlet side of the filtration membrane.

    摘要: A method for expanding circulating tumor cell in vitro includes preparing a cell culture tool having a multi-particle colloidal crystal layer, preparing a cell solution including circulating tumor cells, and contacting the cell solution with the multi-particle colloidal crystal layer, to attach the circulating tumor cells in the cell solution to the multi-particle colloidal crystal layer and rapidly expand by 20 times or more. The multi-particle colloidal crystal layer at least includes first particles having a particle size of 1000 to 5000 nm and second particles having a particle size of 20 to 400 nm. The culture medium in the cell solution at least includes a platelet lysate.
