ABSTRACT:
An automatic cell cultivation apparatus is provided which is capable of conveying the culture container, exchanging the culture medium, and operating other jobs promptly by a robot. The automatic cell cultivation apparatus has a cultivation apparatus main body for cultivating cells in a culture container, and the cultivation apparatus main body is equipped with one or more incubator accommodating the culture container, a chemical suction machine for sucking chemicals in the culture container, and a multijoint robot for conveying the culture container, the multijoint robot having functions of conveying the culture container, detaching and attaching the lid of the culture container, and inclining the container when sucking chemicals in the culture container, so that cell cultivation operations can be promptly carried out by only one robot.
