Abstract
The invention refers to a method for culturing cells. The cells are cultured in a substrate, wherein in the substrate a fluid channel system is formed, comprising a culturing channel having a culturing access to the outside, a storage channel having a storage access to the outside, and a transfer channel having a transfer access to the outside, wherein the culturing channel and the storage channel are fluidically connected to each other via the transfer channel. The method comprises supplying an initial cell suspension through the culturing access into the culturing channel or through the transfer access via the transfer channel into the culturing channel, growing a cell culture in the culturing channel, transferring cells of the cell culture from the culturing channel into the storage channel via the transfer channel, wherein the transfer is carried out by supplying a transfer liquid through the culturing access and transporting the transfer liquid through the culturing channel and the transfer channel into the storage channel, and storing and/or concentrating and/or homogenizing and/or diluting a cell suspension containing the transferred cells in the storage channel.
