Basic conditions for culturing cells in cell factories - gas environment and pH value
The cell factory is a multi-layer structure of cell culture consumables, mainly used for large-scale in vitro cell culture. When culturing cells, a specific environment is required, and the gas environment and pH value are one of the most important conditions. The gas environment that the cell factory refers to when cultivating cells is mainly carbon dioxide and oxygen. Oxygen participates in the cell's tricarboxylic acid cycle to generate energy for cell growth, proliferation and synthesis of various required components. Some cells can obtain energy through glycolysis under hypoxic conditions, but most cells cannot survive under hypoxia. Oxygen tension is usually maintained at slightly below atmospheric conditions, and if the partial pressure of oxygen exceeds the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere, some cells may be detrimental. When using open culture (dish or culture bottle loose-cap culture or culture plate culture), the cells are generally placed in a mixed gas environm
