What to do if the cells do not adhere to the wall when culturing cells in the cell factory

 Cell factories are mainly used for large-scale culture of adherent cells, such as hepatitis A vaccine, hepatitis B vaccine, chickenpox vaccine, etc. When culturing cells, sometimes we find that cells are difficult to adhere to the wall. What is the reason?

First of all, there are many reasons for the phenomenon of non-adherence when the cells are cultured in the cell factory, which can be analyzed and solved from the following aspects:

Excessive trypsin digestion: Trypsin helps cells to digest. If the digestion is excessive, the activity of cells will be greatly damaged, and cells will float. This can be controlled by shortening the digestion time or lowering the trypsin concentration.

Mycoplasma contamination: cells are sensitive to the environment. If the operator does not pay attention to hygiene, or the working environment and experimental equipment are contaminated, it will lead to cross-contamination between cells and the phenomenon of non-adherence. If mycoplasma contamination is found, promptly discard the culture.

Cellular Aging: Cellular aging is the sum of degenerative changes in cells as the organism ages, causing cells to lose their adherence if they are confluent before passage. Freshly seeded cells can be thawed and re-cultured.

In addition, if the initial concentration of inoculated cells is too low or too high, it will also affect the adherence properties of cells, and adjusting the appropriate concentration of inoculated cells can solve this problem. Before using the cell factory, operators should do a good job of disinfection of themselves and the environment to avoid various contamination affecting the cell culture process.

Material features of PETG media bottles

图片
  PETG media bottles   are a special packaging for storing various media, reagents, serum and other solutions, and it is also a product that scientific researchers have more contact with. The wide range of applications is mainly due to the superior properties of its materials. PETG is a transparent plastic that belongs to the non-crystalline copolyester. Serum needs to be stored in a low temperature environment. The use range of this material is -80°C to 60°C, which makes PETG media bottles fully meet the storage needs of serum. In addition, it has the following features: 1. High transparency, the light transmittance reaches 90%, which can reach the transparency of plexiglass; 2. It has stronger rigidity and hardness, excellent scratch resistance, impact resistance and toughness, which is close to or even exceeds that of polycarbonate (PC), and is suitable for injection molding, extrusion molding and extrusion blowing processing; 3. In terms of chemical resistance, oil resistance, weat

What are the common specifications of serum bottles

图片
  In biological laboratories, we often have to store various solutions and reagents. Thanks to the advantages of good performance, transparency, and temperature resistance, serum bottles have become "frequent visitors" in the laboratory. As a commonly used storage container, what are its common specifications?                      FuDau 60ml-Square-PETG-PET-Media-Bottles Common materials for serum bottles include PETG and PET, both of which have very good temperature resistance and transparency. In comparison, bottles made of PETG have more advantages in terms of barrier properties. If you want to pursue a better storage state of the solution, it is recommended to use a bottle made of PETG. There is a molded scale on the body of the bottle, we can clearly observe the capacity and state of the solution. The common specifications of this kind of container include 5ml/10ml/30ml/60ml/125ml/250ml/500ml/1000ml, etc., which are mostly used to store serum, culture medium, buffer, dis

Cell factory requirements for production raw materials

图片
Cell factories   are mainly used for large-scale cell culture. Cells have high requirements on the environment, such as temperature, humidity, osmotic pressure, pH value, etc. Therefore, this kind of   cell   consumables also has high requirements on raw materials. The first is transparency. In the process of cell culture, it is necessary to grasp the growth state of the cells at any time, and make corresponding adjustments according to the cell proliferation. Therefore, the raw materials of the cell factory must meet the requirements of transparency, so that it is convenient for researchers to observe the growth of cells. The second is the compatibility of materials. The raw materials of this consumable generally meet the requirements of USP Class VI medical polymer materials. Medical polymer materials refer to polymer materials used to manufacture human internal organs, external organs, pharmaceutical dosage forms and medical devices, and their sources include natural biopolymer mate
