The invention relates to a method for monitoring metabolic activity of cells in liquid media, to an appropriate vessel and to a device for implementing said method. The invention aims at enhancing measuring accuracy and reducing the costs involved in monitoring oxygen consumption and metabolic activity in culture cells. To this end, oxygen concentration is optically determined with the aid of sensor membranes in a liquid medium located in partially oxygen permeable vessels. The measured oxygen concentrations in the vessels containing culture cells in a liquid medium are compared with the measured oxygen concentration in a vessel containing only such a liquid medium without cells and/or with an oxygen concentration calculated using the measured values of other parameters.

L'invention concerne un procédé de surveillance de l'activité métabolique de cellules dans des milieux liquides, un récipient approprié et un dispositif permettant la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé. L'objectif de l'invention est d'obtenir une précision de mesure plus élevée et de réduire les coûts nécessaires pour la surveillance de la consommation d'oxygène et donc de l'activité métabolique de cellules en culture. A cet effet, la concentration en oxygène est déterminée optiquement à l'aide de membranes de détection dans un milieu liquide qui est logé dans des récipients partiellement perméables à l'oxygène. Les concentrations en oxygène mesurées dans les récipients qui contiennent les cellules en culture dans un milieu liquide sont comparées avec une concentration en oxygène mesurée dans un récipient contenant seulement un tel milieu liquide, sans cellules, et/ou avec une concentration en oxygène calculée avec des valeurs de mesure d'autres paramètres.
