Abstract:
1. A method for evaluating cell detachment in which cell detachment from a culture vessel is evaluated, the method comprising the steps of: taking a first image by imaging a certain position in a culture vessel; taking a second image by imaging the certain position after taking the first image and also after allowing the culture liquid in the culture vessel to flow; and evaluating, via an overall control apparatus, the cell detachment from the culture vessel by determining a cell area ratio A for a section where the cell is present in the first image, a cell area ratio B for a section where the cell is present in the second image, and a common area ratio C for a section where the cell is present in both the first image and the second image, and judging the cell detachment based on the cell area ratio A, the cell area ratio B and the common area ratio C.
