What are cell culture flasks

 The cell culture flasks are a cell consumable suitable for medium-scale cell and tissue culture in the laboratory. Common specifications include 25cm², 75cm², 175cm², 225cm², etc., and are widely used in cell culture technology centers.

The cell culture flasks are made of transparent polystyrene raw material, which has excellent optical properties and is convenient for microscope observation. According to the different types of cultured cells, it is divided into TC hydrophilic surface and non-TC hydrophobic surface. There are two types of caps: sealing cap and vent cap. There is a 0.2μm hydrophobic filter membrane in the breathable cap to provide sterile gas exchange. To reduce the risk of pollution, it is mainly used for open cultivation. Sealing caps are often used for airtight culture to ensure airtightness, and can also be used for open culture when the bottle cap is unscrewed.

What are cell culture flasks

The side of the cell culture flasks have a clear scale, which can improve the accuracy of the culture solution. The bottleneck part is designed with frosted, which is convenient for marking to distinguish the bottles for different experimental purposes. The ridgeline design on the back makes it easier to stack the culture bottles and prevent them from slipping off. The wide neck design allows the pipette and cell scraper to enter the bottle at any angle.

The cell culture flasks can be used for the culture of Vero cells, HEK 293 cells, CAR-T cells, MRC5, CEF cells and other adherent cells, It can also be used for static culture of suspension cells such as CHO cells, insect cells, BHK21 cells and MDCK cells.

Two commonly used materials for carboys

图片
  In biological experiments, the processing and preservation of some liquids are often involved.   Carboys   are ideal for storing sterile liquids, distributing solutions and culture media. The commonly used specifications are mainly 10L and 20L. The material of this container are two main types: PP (polypropylene) and PC (polycarbonate). Polypropylene: It is a polymer formed by the addition polymerization reaction of propylene. The operating temperature range is -30~140℃. It can resist the corrosion of acids, alkalis, salt liquids and various organic solvents below 80℃, and can decompose under high temperature and oxidation. Polypropylene is a thermoplastic synthetic resin with excellent properties. It is a colorless, translucent thermoplastic lightweight general-purpose plastic with chemical resistance, heat resistance, electrical insulation, high-strength mechanical properties and good high-wear resistance processing properties.   Polycarbonate: The liquid storage...

What characteristics do the culture media bottles need to meet?

图片
  The media is the basic substance that provides cell nutrition and promotes cell proliferation, and is also the living environment for cell growth and reproduction. There are many types of medium, the raw materials for preparation are different, and the requirements for use are different. What characteristics should the   media bottles   meet to ensure that the medium is well preserved? The general medium is easily contaminated or decomposed by bacteria after being heated and absorbing moisture. Therefore, the general medium must be kept in a cool and moisture-proof place. For some media (such as tissue culture medium) that need to be strictly sterilized, they must be stored in a refrigerator at 3-6 °C for a long time. To ensure good storage of the medium, the media bottle should meet the following characteristics: 1. Sterility: The medium bottle must be aseptically treated to ensure that the medium is not contaminated. The general sterilization method will choose electr...

Cause Analysis of Mycoplasma Contamination in Cell Factory

图片
  Mycoplasma contamination of cells is a very troublesome problem when culturing cells, especially in the use of large-scale culture vessels such as   cell factory . Once mycoplasma contamination occurs, the loss will be even greater. So, what is the cause of mycoplasma contamination? Mycoplasma is a prokaryotic organism with a size of only 0.2-0.3 um, no cell wall, and can pass through a general filter membrane (0.22-0.45 um). During cell culture, the incidence of mycoplasma infection reaches 63%, so during cell culture Contamination by mycoplasma is a worldwide problem. When cells (especially passage cells) are contaminated by mycoplasma, the expression of DNA, RNA and protein in the cells will change, but the growth rate of cells generally does not have a significant impact, so the contamination of cells by mycoplasma is generally difficult to detect. In most cases, the cytopathic changes are slight or insignificant, and subtle changes can also be alleviated by subculture a...
