Cell culture processing facilityCELL PROCESSING CENTER
One of the largest in JapanOperates a cell culture processing facility
AS Medical Support Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "our company") operates one of the largest cell culture processing facilities in Japan. We have a track record of culturing more than 1,000 cases per year, and we are steadily expanding our scale by arranging personnel and equipment. Recently, regenerative medicine is attracting attention, and we are enthusiastic about contributing to the development of regenerative medicine by supporting cell culture while maintaining a high degree of safety.
What is a cell culture processing facility (CPC)?
Culture technology is a very important point in performing autologous adipose-derived stem cell therapy. Stem cell culture is performed in a cell culture processing facility (CPC).
- Cultured stem cells are meaningless without administration of living ones. The high survival rate has a great influence on the retention rate in the body.
- It is important not only to increase the number of stem cells, but also to select one that is large enough to move smoothly in the blood vessels.
At the Kyushu Regenerative Medicine Cell Culture Center, it is said that it is difficult to culture adipose-derived stem cells, but it is one of the top-class CPCs in Japan that has achieved high levels of (1) and (2).
Top qualityCell culture technology
Class level
Our cell culture processing facility maintains an environment of class 10,000 in the anterior chamber, class 1,000 in the cell processing room, and class 100 in the bioclean bench.
* US federal standard Fed.Std.209D (target particle size 0.5 μm)
Cell viability 95% or more
Important specimens entrusted to us by our customers are cultivated with high technology under strict strict control from receipt to shipment.
By administering within 48 hours after the end of culturing, the cell viability is maintained at a high quality of 95% or more.

We are culturing cells under the guidance of a clinical incubator. Please be assured.
I started human tissue culture as a basic research in a university laboratory and have been involved in human tissue culture for about 25 years. In the processing of cultured cells for clinical use, we have been involved in about 30,000 samples in 15 years. AS Medical Support provides medical institutions with better quality adipose-derived stem cells.
The good quality that we think is that we can actually process stem cells that can be expected to be effective in the body and provide them to medical institutions. To that end, we try not to make every effort to ensure high quality stem cells, not to mention safety. Please feel free to leave it to us. We are waiting for many requests.

Equipment introduction
Japan's largest cell culture processing facility owned by AS Medical Support
- Cell culture processing facility Total area 469㎡
- Cell storage room (2 fusion units)
- 4 culture rooms of 40 m2 (12 safety cabinets, 90 CO2 incubators)
- 2 preparation rooms (4 showcases, 2 deep freezer, 2 freezer)
- Fully equipped with material room, inspection room, staff room
Clean room
Inside the clean room, a HEPA filter that can cut 99.99% or more of 0.3 μm particles is installed on the ceiling, so clean air circulates inside the room 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The one I'm sitting in is called the biohazard safety cabinet. Among them, it is an important place to perform aseptic operation.
Observed with a microscope
I am working on observing a flask with cells adhered with a microscope in a clean room.
Important work is in the safety cabinet
I am working on putting the medium from a centrifuge tube into a flask in a safety cabinet in a clean room.
Clean room control panel
This is the clean room control panel in the air conditioning equipment room. A clean room is a clean room where differential pressure, temperature, and humidity are controlled to prevent bacteria and suspended matter from entering from the outside. This control panel regulates and monitors differential pressure, temperature, humidity, and filters in the clean room.
CO2 incubator
It is a CO2 incubator in a clean room. It is a device for culturing cells in a state closer to physiological conditions by creating a stable environment with constant temperature, humidity, and CO2 concentration. By setting the carbon dioxide concentration to 5%, the pH of 7.1 to 7.4, which is suitable for cell growth, is maintained, the temperature inside the body where the cells were growing (37 ° C) is maintained, and mold prevention and humidification are performed. I am.

Adipose-derived stem cellsContract processing service
This is a contract processing service for extracting and culturing adipose-derived stem cells from the patient's adipose tissue entrusted to us by a medical institution. We can deliver live floating cells to medical institutions, so they can be used immediately for treatment.
