The importance of shaker speed to cells in cell shaker flasks

 Erlenmeyer shake flask is a kind of cell consumable that is often used in suspension cell culture. Unlike adherent cells, suspension cells grow in suspension in culture medium. In addition to the gas environment, pH, osmotic pressure and other conditions, the speed of the shaker also affects the growth of cells.

Cell culture requires a suitable growth environment and growth temperature, which requires the selection of a suitable shaker for assistance. The constant temperature shaker is a special equipment used in conjunction with the cell shaker. When culturing cells, the shaker needs to be continuously rotated to provide gas conditions for the cells, and at the same time, it can also avoid cell death caused by cell deposition.

The specifications of erlenmeyer shake flasks include 125ml, 250ml, 500ml, 1000ml, 3L, 5L, etc. The volume of medium added to the flasks of different specifications is also different, and the oxygen demand of different cells will also be different. Therefore, the rotation speed of the shaker is generally determined according to the type of cells and the capacity of the medium. If the rotation speed is too high, foam is likely to occur, and if the rotation speed is too low, the cells are easily deposited. Both of these conditions are conducive to the growth of cells. Taking BHK-21 cells as an example, the volume ratio of the medium added is generally 25%. The recommended speed of the bottle within 1L is 120 rpm, while the large-capacity shake flask adds more medium, so the speed will be different.

In summary, the rotation speed of the shaker will directly affect the growth of cells in the erlenmeyer shake flask, and an appropriate rotation speed is the basic condition for improving cell viability. Of course, the specific speed setting also depends on the type of cells and the volume ratio of the medium added.

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
