Further, a silicon rubber heater H for adjusting the temperature of the culture solution is wound around the outer periphery of the tank B.
According to the culture apparatus described above, the culture solution in the culture solution tank B is maintained at a temperature suitable for cell culture by the heater H. Then, the reciprocating expansion / contraction motion of the pump 3 by the drive device 4 causes the culture solution in the tank B to flow into the column A from the check valve 6 on the lower side and to flow in the hollow fiber 2. on the other hand,
The culture solution in the hollow fiber 2 flows out from the column A through the check valve 5 into the tank B. The culture solution thus flowing out to the tank B passes through the gas exchanger 7 and is supplied with necessary oxygen gas, and again flows into the column A from the check valve 6 on the lower side. When the culture solution flows from the tank B into the column A, a pressure difference occurs between the tank B and the column A, so that a part of the culture solution enters the column A through the ceramic filter 1 which is the outer shell of the column A. Also, when the culture solution flows from the inside of the column A to the tank B, a part of the solution also flows from the column A to the tank B through the ceramic filter 1.
