What requirements should the raw materials of cell culture flasks meet?

 When culturing cells, cell culture flasks are an economical and practical culture tool. So what material is it made of?

Cell culture flasks generally use highly transparent polystyrene as raw materials. In order to ensure the safety of raw materials, they must meet USP Class VI medical grade standards. The USP class of medical materials is grade 6, ranging from USP class I-USP class VI, with USP class VI being the highest grade. According to USP-NF general rules, plastics subjected to in vivo biological response tests will be classified into designated medical plastic grades. The purpose of the test is to determine the biocompatibility of plastic products and whether they are suitable for medical device implants and other systems.

A plastic that is rated as U.S. Medical Plastics Class VI means that comprehensive and rigorous testing has been established. U.S. medical grade VI is now the gold standard for various medical-grade raw materials, and a very high-quality choice for medical device manufacturers. The testing items include systemic toxicity test (mice), intradermal reaction test (rabbit), and implantation test (rabbit).

The raw materials that meet the USP Class VI standard are the basis for the strict control of product quality in cell culture flasks. If the raw materials contain certain toxicity, it will be detrimental to the growth of cells, thereby affecting the process of later cell culture experiments.

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
