A fluid supply interface includes at least one supply coupling configuration, at least one discharge coupling configuration, at least one user coupling configuration, and a fluid conduit that connects the supply, discharge, and user coupling configurations to one another. A supply valve is capable of having fluid flow through it or is blocked for flow through it. A discharge valve is capable of having fluid flow through it or is blocked for flow through it. The supply valve is preloaded into a blocking position that prevents flow, and opens by means of a sufficiently large pressure difference between the two sides of the supply valve, against the preload force, for flow through in a direction from the supply coupling configuration toward the fluid conduit. The discharge valve likewise being preloaded into a closed position that prevents flow through it.

Fluid supply interface having a safety valve for a cell culture system, use of such a fluid supply interface for managing cell culture containers, and cell culture management system

The invention relates to a liquid supply interface for a cell culture system for supplying cell cultures found in different cell culture containers with a nutrient medium, wherein the liquid supply interface comprises: a housing defining a flow area; a first connection formation for the liquid-transferring connection of a first fluid line to the housing; a second connection formation formed separately from the first for the liquid-transferring connection of a second fluid line to the housing; a third connection formation formed separately from the first two for the liquid-transferring connection of the housing to a third fluid line; a coupling formation formed separately from the connection formations, which is formed for the producible and detachable liquid-transferring coupling contact according to the operation, with a corresponding counter-coupling formation of a cell culture container.

Cell culturing system for cultivating adherent cells and liquid supply interface comprising a cell culture container

Cell culturing system for culturing adherent cells and liquid supply interface comprising a cell culture container

A fluid line element for building a fluid line section comprising a plurality of identical fluid line elements, wherein the fluid line element comprises: &#x2014;an element body, &#x2014;a first throughflow opening provided on the element body and a second throughflow opening, different from the first, &#x2014;and a flow channel provided in the element body, which fluidically connects the first and the second throughflow openings for throughflow along a channel path. In a first region of the fluid line element, located closer to the first than to the second throughflow opening, a throughflow body formed separately from the element body is provided, which &#x2014;forms a part of the flow channel, &#x2014;is formed from a material having a lower elasticity modulus than the material of the element body, and &#x2014;on the longitudinal end thereof facing into the interior of the element body, comprises a valve seat formation surrounding the channel path.

Handling device for a laboratory vessel

The invention relates to a liquid supply interface ('&#x2033;) for a cell culture system for supplying cell cultures found in different cell culture containers (&#x2033;) with a nutrient medium, wherein the liquid supply interface (&#x2032;&#x2033;) comprises: a housing () defining a flow area (); a first connection formation () for the liquid-transferring connection of a first fluid line () to the housing (); a second connection formation () formed separately from the first for the liquid-transferring connection of a second fluid line () to the housing (); a third connection formation () formed separately from the first two for the liquid-transferring connection of the housing () to a third fluid line; a coupling formation () formed separately from the connection formations (), which is formed for the producible and detachable liquid-transferring coupling contact according to the operation, with a corresponding counter-coupling formation () of a cell culture container (&#x2033;).
