| 1. A cell culturing device that cultures cells by transferring the cells to culture containers to which are attached unique
identification information according to the cell culturing process; comprising,
an input unit that inputs identification information attached to culture containers before and after transfer whenever cells
are transferred to a different culture container,
a unit to transfer cells between containers,
a memory unit that stores identification information input from the input unit in mutual correlation and a cell count detection
unit that detects the number of cells within a culture container; wherein
the memory unit stores culture container identification information in mutual correlation with the number of cells.
