Abstract:
This paper presents data on a novel, semi-automatic cell culturing device called 'C5 Unit' (connectable circuit cell culture chamber) which was developed and adapted to the quality and size criteria set by the characteristics of the ESA Biorack. The suitability of the hardware for culturing cells under microgravity conditions was demonstrated by successful culture of primary mouse cells from neonatal cerebellum and testis aboard the Space Shuttle during the IML-2 mission.
