Application of Media Bottles in the Field of Cell Culture

 The development of cell culture technology has been very mature so far. Cell growth needs to meet various requirements such as environment, temperature, osmotic pressure, pH value, etc. In addition to providing basic nutrients in various synthetic media, it is also necessary to adapt to different cells and different culture purposes. Add serum and other substances to promote cell growth. Therefore, media bottles have a wide range of applications in the field of cell culture.

Serum is a very complex mixture formed by removing fibrinogen from plasma, mainly including fetal bovine serum, calf serum, adult bovine serum, horse serum, goat serum, chicken serum, rabbit serum, etc., among which fetal bovine serum is used. is most commonly used. Serum provides important substances such as extracellular matrix, growth factors and transferrin. The proportion of serum added should be determined according to different cells and different research purposes. 10%~20% serum can maintain the rapid growth and proliferation rate of cells, which is called growth medium; in order to maintain slow growth or immortality of cells, 2%~5% serum can be added, which is called maintenance medium.

Due to the particularity of serum, its storage temperature should be -5°C to -20°C. Media bottles are generally made of transparent PET material by injection stretch blowing technology. This material has good heat aging resistance, embrittlement temperature of -70 °C, and still has certain toughness at -30 °C, which meets the storage needs of serum. . And the media bottle will be sterilized, no pyrogen, no endotoxin, no DNase, no RNase and other factors that affect cell growth.

Serum is an indispensable item for cell culture. With the continuous development of biological products, immunotherapy, scientific research institutes and other fields, the demand for serum will also increase, and the media bottle will also have a wider application in the field of cell culture.

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
