What are the characteristics of the culture media bottles

 The medium is an essential nutrient for cell culture and needs to be stored in the special media bottles. The quality of the medium is related to whether the cells can grow well. So what are the characteristics of the culture media bottles?

According to the different synthesis methods, culture medium can be divided into three categories: natural medium, synthetic medium and semi-synthetic medium:

Natural culture medium: Natural culture medium refers to the use of raw materials of various animals, plants or microorganisms, and its composition is difficult to know exactly. The main raw materials used for this medium are: beef extract, wort, peptone, yeast extract, corn flour, bran, various cake flours, potatoes, milk, serum, etc. This medium is nutrient-rich, microorganisms grow vigorously, has a wide range of sources and is easy to prepare, so it is commonly used, especially for the preparation of medium commonly used in laboratories. Its stability is often affected by factors such as the manufacturer or batch number.

Synthetic Medium: Synthetic medium is a type of medium whose chemical composition and quantity are fully known, formulated with chemicals of known chemical composition. The chemical composition of this kind of medium is accurate and reproducible, but it is expensive, and the microorganisms grow slowly, so it is only suitable for some scientific research, such as nutrition and metabolism research.

Semi-synthetic medium: In the synthetic medium, one or several natural components are added; or in the natural medium, one or several chemicals with known components are added to form a semi-synthetic medium. For example, potato sucrose medium, etc. This medium is most used in production practices and laboratories.

The culture media bottle is a special container for storing culture medium. It is processed from polyester raw materials and generally has the following characteristics:

1. It has good mechanical properties, impact resistance is not easy to break, and its strength and elasticity are higher than other raw materials.

2. Oil resistance, fat resistance, dilute acid, dilute alkali, and most solvents.

3. Low gas and water vapor permeability, excellent gas barrier, water, oil and odor properties.

4. High transparency, can block ultraviolet rays, and have good gloss.

5. Non-toxic, tasteless, good hygiene and safety, can be directly used for food packaging.

6, the texture is lighter, easy to transport and so on.

Depending on the type of medium, it needs to be stored in different environments, such as low temperature, long-term or short-term, etc. The good characteristics of the media bottles can meet the storage requirements of different medium.

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
