Abstract

The invention discloses a cell culture and experiment device used in the field of biological and genetic engineering experiment apparatus, comprising a cent distribution compartment, a culture compartment, a treatment compartment, and pipelines for delivering liquid between the central distribution compartment and the culture compartment and between the central distribution compartment and the treatment compartment. The central distribution compartment is equipped with a distribution chamber and a piston which can be moved forward and backward in the distribution chamber to alter the working volume of the distribution chamber. At the bottom of the distribution chamber, the central distribution compartment is equipped with a distribution valve controlling the connectivity between the distribution chamber and any of the channels. The invention provides a miniaturized apparatus integrating the central distribution compartment, the culture compartment and the treatment compartment, which can replace manual operations, save time and labor, and avoid wasting experimental raw material.
