Culture container base material, culture container, and production method of culture container base material
Provided is a culture container base material made of a polyolefin material, capable of readily forming a culture container for culturing adherent cells. The culture container base material is for culturing the adherent cells and made of the polyolefin material. At least a part of a surface of the base material is subjected to a surface treatment, where the surface of the base material is a culture surface of the culture container, and the surface subjected to the surface treatment has a static water contact angle of greater than 80° and a receding contact angle of less than 53°.
1. A culture container base material for culturing adherent cells comprising:
a polyolefin material;
a surface, wherein at least a part of the surface of the culture container base material is subjected to a surface treatment,
wherein:
the surface treatment comprises a hydrophilization treatment and a modification treatment,
a static water contact angle of the at least a part of the surface of the culture container base material that is subjected to the surface treatment comprising the hydrophilization treatment and the modification treatment is greater than 80°,
a receding contact angle of the at least a part of the surface of the culture container base material that is subjected to the surface treatment comprising the hydrophilization treatment and the modification treatment is less than 53°,
and
the modification treatment is performed at a temperature in a range of from 45° C. to 55° C.
2. The culture container base material according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrophilization treatment is a corona treatment or an excimer treatment.
3. The culture container base material according to claim 1 , wherein the polyolefin material is polyethylene.
4. The culture container base material according to claim 1 , wherein the static water contact angle is greater than 95°.
5. The culture container base material according to claim 1 , wherein the receding contact angle is less than 44°.
6. A culture container, wherein the surface subjected to the surface treatment of the culture container base material according to claim 1 is formed as the culture surface.
7. A method for producing a culture container base material for culturing adherent cells, the method comprising:
applying a surface treatment to hydrophilize at least a part of a surface of the culture container base material, wherein the surface of the culture container base material is a culture surface of a culture container; and
modifying the culture container base material,
wherein the applying and modifying are performed such that the surface subjected to the surface treatment has a static water contact angle of greater than 80° and a receding contact angle of less than 53°, and
wherein the culture container base material comprises a polyolefin material, and
the modifying is performed at a temperature ranging from 45° C. to 55° C.
8. The method for producing the culture container base material according to claim 7 , wherein the modifying is performed for a period ranging from 3 days to 3 months.
