Abstract

Disclosed are a syringe-shaped culture tube which has a wide surface area and is changeable by a user to a desired size, and a cell culture apparatus in which a plurality of the culture tubes are mounted. The cell culture apparatus allows a culture medium to constantly and smoothly contact the entire inner circumference of the culture tube and rotate by a rotation unit at a preset speed when the culture tube is filled with the culture medium. Thus, the cell culture apparatus can promote stirring and gas supply and increase the gas exchange rate. Also, it can reduce consumption of the culture medium.The cell culture apparatus according to the present disclosure includes: the culture tube with a culture space formed therein, wherein a vent hole through which the culture medium flows in and out of the culture space is formed at one or both ends of the culture tube and the inner diameter of which gradually tapers toward the outside at one end thereof is formed; a rotation support member with a plurality of the culture tubes horizontally mounted in a longitudinal direction that rotates around a rotation shaft formed at the center; and a rotation unit for rotating the rotation support member around the rotation shaft.
