The present invention pertains to an apparatus for holding cells (200). The apparatus comprises a mechanism for incubating cells having a dynamically controlled environment in which the cells are grown, which are maintained in a desired condition and in which cells can be examined while the environment is dynamically controlled and maintained in the desired condition. The apparatus also comprises a mechanism for determining the state of the cells. The determining mechanism is in communication with the incubating mechanism. The present invention pertains to a method of holding cells. The method comprises the steps of incubating the cells in a dynamically controlled environment which is maintained in a desired condition and in which the cells can be examined while the environment is dynamically controlled and maintained in the desired condition. Additionally, there is the step of determining the state of the cells.

La présente invention concerne un appareil destiné à la conservation de cellules (200). En l'occurrence, l'appareil comprend un mécanisme d'incubation de cellules qui dispose d'un environnement dynamiquement contrôlé dans lequel sont mises en culture les cellules qui sont ainsi maintenues dans un état voulu. Dans ce mécanisme d'incubation, on conserve la possibilité d'examiner les cellules sans les sortir de cet environnement dynamiquement contrôlé, et ce, tout en les maintenant dans l'état voulu. L'appareil comporte également un mécanisme d'évaluation de l'état des cellules. Ce mécanisme d'évaluation communique avec le mécanisme d'incubation. L'invention concerne également un procédé de conservation des cellules. Ce procédé consiste à faire incuber les cellules dans un environnement dynamiquement contrôlé dans lequel sont mises en culture les cellules qui sont ainsi maintenues dans un état voulu, environnement dans lequel on conserve la possibilité d'examiner les cellules sans les sortir de cet environnement dynamiquement contrôlé, et ce, tout en les maintenant dans l'état voulu. Le procédé consiste en outre à évaluer l'état des cellules.
