Two typical medium replacement methods are employed to culture cells, that is, traditional manual medium change, wherein complete medium changes are performed at short-term intervals; and perfusion, wherein continuous culture media delivery and discharge are performed. The former is associated with the issue of readily accumulation of metabolic waste products, which is resolved by the latter. However, the latter requires a specific chamber for cell culturing such as a microfluidic channel for flow stability. Generally, bio-medical researchers require a culturing process that utilizes commercial culture dishes to test their conventional manipulation know-how, experience, and protocols. Thus, we constructed a perfusion-culture system using commercial 35 mm culture dishes. To use commercial culture dishes, it is necessary to maintain the culturing conditions including a constant volume and uniform flow rate, and we invented a novel adapter, culture dish adapter (CD-Adapter), attached to a commercial culture dish. The CD-Adapter is fixed with a holding jig to keep the medium volume constant, so it can maintain a uniform flow in the culture dish. Additionally, we demonstrate the applicability of the system by applying it to a perfusion culture of 293T cells, revealing a 50% reduction in DDIT3, a cellular stress marker, compared with that in conventional manual medium change.
