CELL DETACHMENT DEVICE, VIBRATION ELEMENT, CELL DETACHMENT DEVICE CONTROL METHOD, AND MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240174964 titled 'CELL DETACHMENT DEVICE, VIBRATION ELEMENT, CELL DETACHMENT DEVICE CONTROL METHOD, AND MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a cell detachment device that uses vibrations to detach cells from a culture vessel. The device includes a piezoelectric element, a vibrated system, a third electrode, and a detection unit to monitor the vibrations applied to the culture vessel and cells.
- Piezoelectric element with first and second electrodes
- Vibrated system with a vibration member and culture vessel
- Third electrode for outputting a second alternating current
- Detection unit for monitoring vibrations in the system
Potential Applications
The technology can be used in cell culture research, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine for efficient cell detachment processes.
Problems Solved
The device solves the problem of manual cell detachment, which can be time-consuming and labor-intensive in cell culture experiments.
Benefits
The device offers a non-invasive and efficient method for detaching cells, reducing the risk of cell damage and contamination during the process.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be applied in biotechnology companies, research laboratories, and pharmaceutical industries for cell culture applications.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of manual scraping or enzymatic methods for cell detachment in cell culture experiments.
Unanswered Questions
How does the device ensure the detachment of specific types of cells without affecting others?
The device may use specific frequencies or amplitudes of vibrations tailored to detach certain types of cells while leaving others unaffected.
What is the expected lifespan of the piezoelectric element in the device?
The lifespan of the piezoelectric element may depend on factors such as usage frequency, intensity of vibrations, and maintenance practices. Regular calibration and maintenance may prolong the lifespan of the element.
Original Abstract Submitted
provided is a cell detachment device causing to know whether the vibration applied to a culture vessel and the cells under the desired condition is applied. the device generating a first vibration and detaching a culture cell from a culture vessel using the first vibration, comprises: a piezoelectric element in which a second vibration is excited by applying a first alternating current using a first and second electrodes; a vibrated system in which the second vibration propagates, including a vibration member to which the piezoelectric element is fixed and on which the culture vessel mounted; a third electrode used outputting a second alternating current excited on the piezoelectric element by the first vibration generated in the vibrated system caused by the second vibration; and a detection unit detecting a state of the first vibration generated in the vibrated system by using the second alternating current output from the third electrode.
