5 points to keep in mind when using cell culture flasks to grow insect cells
Insect cells are a class of eukaryotic cells mainly extracted from insects. By cultivating the host virus, it can cause insect epidemics, but it is harmless to humans, animals and plants, so it can be used as a virus insecticide and can also produce some medicinal proteins. Cell culture flask is a kind of cell culture consumable commonly used for culturing insect cells, so what problems should be paid attention to when culturing insect cells? 1. Temperature and environment: Insect cells should generally be cultured in a non-humidified environment at 27°C. Carbon dioxide exchange is not recommended, so try to choose a closed lid for the cell culture flask. 2. Culture medium: Different cells have different requirements for culture medium. According to the cell growth characteristics, a special medium for insect cells should be selected. 3. Adherent insect cells: When the cell density is less than 20% of the confluent state, cell growth will be inhibited. Healthy cells are harvested
