The process and precautions for harvesting cells in the cell factory
With the rapid development of industries such as biopharmaceuticals, vaccines, and monoclonal antibodies, the importance of cell factories in large-scale cell culture has become increasingly prominent. Cell culture is a rigorous work, with strict control over the cell growth environment, the addition of culture media, and the harvest of cells. When using the cell factory to harvest cells, the following procedures must be strictly followed: 1. Pour out the culture solution after incubation, and wash it with calcium-free and magnesium-free phosphate buffer (CMF-PBS) (40-50 ml/layer), and repeat the washing if necessary. 2. Digestion: The digestion solution (10-40 ml/layer) is preheated in advance. 3. Collection: Centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes to remove the digestion solution and collect the cells. 4. Washing: Wash the digested incubator with CMF-PBS or culture medium. Pay attention to the following points when harvesting cells: 1. Make sure that CMF-PBS is completely immersed i
