The invention provides a cell/tissue culture apparatus capable of applying
an optional physical stimulation to a material to be cultivated serving
as a cell or tissue to be cultivated and of protecting the material to be
cultivated from contamination of various bacteria and so forth. The
cell/tissue culture apparatus comprises a chamber (culture chamber 8) for
accommodating the material to be cultivated (matrix 10) therein and
receiving a culture fluid (18), a disc (24) rotatably installed in the
chamber for applying a physical stimulation to the material to be
cultivated by way of the culture fluid (18) when it is rotated, and
rotary driving means (external rotation body 32 and motor 40) for
applying a rotating force to the disc from an outside of the chamber in a
state where it does not contact the disc, and it can apply an optional
physical stimulation to the material to be cultivated serving as the cell
or tissue to be cultivated, protecting the material to be cultivated from
contamination of bacteria and so forth.
