Abstract

A culture container made of a flexible packaging material where the culture container includes a first side surface portion and a second side surface portion that are mutually opposed. The culture container also includes at least an inner surface side of the first side surface portion which has a surface treatment such that, when a contact angle hysteresis is defined as an advance contact angle—a retreat contact angle at a time when water slips, a contact angle hysteresis of a surface on the inner surface side of the first side surface portion becomes larger than a contact angle hysteresis of a surface on an inner surface side of the second side surface portion. The culture container further includes a membrane made of a cell adhesion inhibitor that is formed on the inner surface side of the first side surface portion.

Claims (7)

1. A culture container made of a flexible packaging material, the culture container comprising:

a first side surface portion and a second side surface portion that are mutually opposed, wherein at least an inner surface side of the first side surface portion has a surface treatment such that, when a contact angle hysteresis is defined as a difference between an advance contact angle (θa) and a retreat contact angle (θr) at a time when water slips such that the contact angle hysteresis is equal to (θa−θr), a contact angle hysteresis of the surface on the inner surface side of the first side surface portion becomes larger than a contact angle hysteresis of a surface on an inner surface side of the second side surface portion, and a membrane made of a cell adhesion inhibitor is formed on the inner surface side of the first side surface portion,

wherein at least the inner surface side of the first side surface portion has a hydrophilic treatment,

wherein a base material of the inner surface side of the first side surface portion and a base material of the inner surface side of the second side surface portion consist of polyethylene, and

wherein the membrane made of a cell adhesion inhibitor is not formed on the inner surface side of the second side surface portion.

2. The culture container according to claim 1 , wherein the cell adhesion inhibitor is at least any one of a phospholipid polymer or a polyvinyl alcohol derivative.

3. The culture container according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of wells are formed on the inner surface side of the first side surface portion.
