  The   cell culture flask   is a culture vessel for cell culture and cell expansion in the laboratory. Cell growth requires a specific environment and temperature. Therefore, when using cell culture flasks for cell culture, you should avoid improper operation and pollution that affect cell growth. 1. Wash your hands before the experiment: Many experimenters do not wash their hands by themselves, and go to the experiment as soon as the alcohol is sprayed. This is a wrong behavior. You should wash your hands carefully with soap/soap, and wash your wrists and nails. It is a good choice to wash your hands twice, and then spray alcohol on your hands. 2. Someone wears a white coat with half sleeves to do experiments. The cuffs of the white coat should be long, which is the kind with the cuffs tied tightly. If not, put the cuffs toward the arm. The bare wrists must also be sprayed with alcohol. Please avoid touching the outside of the workbench after wearing gloves. If you have to touch it,

How to choose the cap of the cell culture flask

  There are many types of   cell culture flasks . According to different cell culture needs, there are many types of caps. So how should the caps of cell culture flasks be selected? The caps of cell culture flasks are generally closed without inner pads. They are often used for closed culture to ensure their airtightness. When the cap is unscrewed, it can also be used for open culture. In addition, the caps of culture flasks also have vent caps, septum caps, polyester caps and other types. The breathable cap is a 0.2μm hydrophobic filter membrane added to the bottle cap to provide sterile gas exchange and reduce the risk of contamination. Commonly used for open culture, recommended for co2 incubator culture, especially for experiments that require long-term culture. The septum cover has a pre-cut opening on the septum, so that the suction nozzle (or a pipette of 5ml or less) can be inserted through the septum for adding liquid, aspirating liquid or harvesting cells, reducing the chance

How to improve the adhesion effect of cells in cell culture flasks

  Cell culture flasks   are a type of cell culture consumables commonly used in adherent cell culture. Adherent cells are different from suspension cells and need to be attached to the surface of a support to grow. The effect of adherence directly affects the growth of cells, and the adherence effect of cells can be improved by the following methods: 1. Appropriate digestion of cells: HepG-2, A549, Hela, SGC-7901 cancer cells can be treated for a longer period of time. Generally, the treatment time is 5-6 minutes. C2C12, COS-7, NIH-3T3 are easier to fall off, and 2 minutes is sufficient. , P19Cl6 and 293 cells do not adhere tightly, so they can be replaced with fresh medium directly after rinsing in PBS to disperse them. 2. Use plastic cell culture bottles as much as possible. After such bottles are treated with TC, the adhesion performance of the bottles can be greatly improved, and the cells can be better attached to them. 3. Resuscitate new cells and use 20% serum to help cells reco

Application of cell culture flask in cell lysis experiment

  Cell lysis is an important experimental method to change cell permeability and activity. It means that after a cell is infected by a virus, the virus uses the nutrients in the host cell to synthesize its own offspring, and then the virus offspring destroys the host cell and is released Out of cells. In cell lysis experiments,   cell culture flasks   are a common consumable. The steps for cell lysis are as follows: 1. Pour out the culture medium, and buckle the cell culture bottle upside down on absorbent paper so that the absorbent paper will absorb the culture medium (or put the bottle upright for a while to allow the residual culture medium to flow to the bottom of the bottle and then use a pipette to suck it away ). 2. Add 3ml of 4℃ pre-cooled PBS (0.01M pH7.2 ~ 7.3) to each bottle of cells. Lay the cells flat and gently shake for 1 min to wash the cells, and then discard the washing solution. Repeat the above operation twice, washing the cells three times to wash away the culture

Pay attention to these three points when using cell culture flasks

  The   cell culture flask   is a kind of cell consumable that is used in life research and practice. It is mostly used for the cultivation of adherent cells. During use, the correct operation method is the prerequisite to ensure the smooth progress of the experiment. Pay attention to the following when using this consumable What time is it: 1. About the lid: Do not tighten the lid of the disposable cell culture flask too tightly to ensure gas exchange. HEPES is a non-ionic buffer with good buffering capacity in the pH range of 7.2-7.4, but it is very expensive and may be toxic to some cells at high concentrations. HEPES buffer can be used with low-level sodium carbonate (0.34g/L) to offset the increase in osmotic pressure caused by the addition of HEPES. Under this culture condition, the lid of the disposable cell culture flask should be tightened to prevent the small amount of carbonate in the culture solution from dispersing into the air. Most culture fluids contain phenol red as a

  Cell culture flasks   have straight neck, torticollis, angle neck, triangle, rectangle, etc. according to different shapes. The specifications include 25ml, 75ml, 175ml, and 250ml. Smaller sizes are mostly used for cell passaging, preservation of cells, and provision of cells for experiments, etc. use. After the cells grow into a dense monolayer in the cell culture flask, they are basically saturated. In order to enable the cells to continue to grow and increase the number of cells, they must be subcultured (re-cultured). Subculture is also a way to preserve cell species. At the same time, it is a necessary process for various experiments using cultured cells. Suspended cells can be separated directly, while adherent cells need to be digested before they can be separated. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Discard the original culture medium in the cell culture flask full of cells. 2. Add 0.5-1ml 0.25% pancreatin solution, so that the cells at the bottom of the bottle are immersed

Can the cell culture flask be reused?

  Cell culture flasks   are a kind of cell consumables often used in the process of cell culture. When culturing cells, various pollutions often cause various problems for the experiment and hinder the process of the experiment. So how to deal with these pollution? Cell contamination is generally caused by improper aseptic technique, incomplete sterilization of utensils and reagents, and passing of hands or instruments over the opening of the utensil. Once the cells are contaminated, most of them are difficult to recover. The following are the common types and treatment methods of cell contamination: 1. Bacterial contamination: The bacteria are black fine sand-like under an ordinary inverted microscope. Depending on the infected bacteria, they can have different shapes. The culture medium will generally become turbid and yellow, which has a significant impact on cell growth. Most of the cells die within 24 hours. Corresponding antibiotics can be added to the culture medium, such as tet

Five factors to consider when choosing a cell culture flask

  The   cell culture flask   is a consumable suitable for medium-scale cell tissue culture in the laboratory. The quality of the consumable is related to the process of the experiment and is crucial to the growth and reproduction of the cells. The following factors should be considered when choosing this consumable: 1. Width and shape of the bottleneck: When culturing cells, it involves pipetting and harvesting cells. The design of the wide bottleneck allows the spatula or pipette to enter the bottle more conveniently and facilitates the operation. There is also the use of various enzymes to decompose the cells and then harvest the cells. The curved neck design does not leave a dead corner, which is convenient for the export of the culture medium. 2. Sterilization assurance level: cell growth has strict requirements on the environment, so cell culture flasks must reach a certain level of sterility so as not to affect cell growth. Generally, SAL10-6 is required in the industry, and the
