Why Cell Factories Need Surface TC Treatment

图片
  The   cell factory   is a multi-layered cell culture consumable, which is mostly used in industrial mass production, laboratory operations and large-scale cell culture, and is an ideal choice for adherent cells. When choosing this kind of consumables, we will pay attention to a key factor, that is the surface TC treatment, why does it have to undergo this special treatment? Cells can be divided into two types: adherent cells and suspension cells according to different growth methods. Suspension cells do not need to be attached to a support to grow, and can grow in suspension in a culture medium. Adherent cells must have a growth surface to which they can attach to grow, and only a hydrophilic solid interface can allow cells to attach. The cell factory is mainly used for the culture of adherent cells, which is processed by injection molding of transparent polystyrene (PS) raw materials. As a polymer material, PS has good strength and plasticity, and has no toxicity, and has become the

How to detect the effect of TC treatment in a cell factory

图片
  Cell factories   are commonly used consumables in large-scale cell culture, and are widely used in adherent cells. It is processed from raw polystyrene, which is inherently hydrophobic, and adherent cells need to attach to the surface of the consumable to grow. In order to improve the adherence performance of the product, it will be treated with TC on the surface to introduce hydrophilic groups to meet the growth requirements of adherent cells. So, how to detect the TC treatment effect of consumables? The untreated polystyrene surface is uncharged and non-hydrophilic, and its ability of cell adsorption and protein binding is very poor, so that cell adsorption and growth are very weak and unstable. After TC treatment, it is a negatively charged and hydrophilic polystyrene surface, and its ability of cell adsorption and protein binding is very stable, which is suitable for cell adherent culture. To detect the TC treatment effect of the cell factory, a professional instrument - a contac

Specific steps used in cell factories

The sensitization test is a test to determine whether the test substance is an allergen and the sensitization intensity. As a cell consumable commonly used in large-scale cell or tissue culture,   cell factories   also need to be subjected to sensitization tests to determine whether they contain allergens and sensitization strength. The phenomenon in which the specific sensitivity of the body to an antigenic or haptenic chemical is increased. Chemicals that have a sensitizing effect are called chemoallergens or chemosensitizers. Chemical sensitizers act on the body through various ways, and can make immune active cells in the body produce specific immune responses to them. symptoms and signs. If the cell factory contains allergens, it will affect the growth and proliferation of cells. The sensitization test animals are mostly guinea pigs, and the test substances are mostly pure chemical products. The dose to be used is determined experimentally, starting with the maximum dose that does

Cytotoxicity testing of cell factories
