Abstract:
1. A temperature regulating member that can be transported comprising: a first vessel for housing having a culture vessel housed therein, heat-accumulating material undergoing a liquid-to-solid phase transition at a given temperature disposed inside said first vessel in plural stages within said first vessel; a stirrer disposed so as to be in contact with the heat-accumulating material, for stirring up the heat-accumulating material; and a thermally conductive film having elasticity, and disposed so as to surround the culture vessel; wherein the stirrer is freely movably embedded in the heat-accumulating material whereby the stirrer stirs up the heat-accumulating material by freely changing its relative position in the heat-accumulating material solely by movement of the first vessel during transport without using a drive unit, and wherein the culture vessel contacts the heat-accumulating material through the thermally conductive film and the thermally conductive film secures a position of the culture vessel in the first vessel at a position between the two stages.
