As a method for mass culturing animal cells in vitro, for example, I
Cell Culture Manual J, published by Kodansha on May 1, 1982, edited by Kosuke Munemura, pp. 63-70, describes the method of using the required number of Lou bottles used for small-scale culture, and the method of using multiple cylindrical bottles. Various methods have been discussed, such as a roller bottle method in which culture is carried out while slowly rotating, a multilayer plate method, etc. These are all methods for increasing the culture surface area, but they are unsuitable for large-scale culture because they require installation space and labor relative to the culture surface area.

Furthermore, the superbead method (or microcarrier method) is being discussed as a method to dramatically increase the culture surface area, but although the microcarrier method increases the culture surface area, sufficient consideration is not given to oxygen supply to cells. Well, I have the following problem.

Generally, in microbial culture, the oxygen necessary for the growth and proliferation of microorganisms is supplied by blowing air into the culture solution. However, when culturing animal cells, the gas phase of the culture tank is extremely prone to foaming just before it is used as a culture medium, and even the slightest amount of air blowing can cause the culture solution to foam, causing problems with culture. Oxygen is supplied to the culture medium by injecting air only into the culture medium. This method has sufficient oxygen supply capacity for laboratory-stage culture, but when the culture tank is enlarged to an industrial scale, the ratio of increase in the liquid surface to the increase in culture liquid is small. , oxygen supply capacity is insufficient. In order to compensate for this lack of oxygen supply ability, if air is pumped into the gas phase and air is blown into the gas phase, there is a limit to this because of the problem of foaming, as described above.
