The difference between the two culture surfaces of cell culture flasks

 There are thousands of cell types, but they can be roughly divided into two categories: adherent cells and suspension cells. Different cells have different requirements for culture containers. As a consumable product with high frequency of use, cell culture flasks are divided into two types: TC-treated surface and non-TC-treated surface. So, what is the difference between these two surfaces?

Cells are divided into adherent cells and suspension cells according to different culture methods. The growth of adherent cells must have a support surface that can be attached, and the cells can grow on the surface by relying on the attachment factors secreted by themselves or provided in the medium and reproduce. Suspension cells do not require an attachable support and grow in suspension in the medium, such as lymphocytes.

The cell culture flask is made of polystyrene raw material. Compared with glass material, the surface of this material is hydrophobic, which is not conducive to the growth of cell adhesion. Therefore, after a special surface treatment process, hydrophilic groups are introduced on the surface , making it suitable for the adherent growth of cells. Suspension cells have no special requirements on the surface of the container, and non-TC-treated containers can be selected, but generally TC-treated culture containers can also be used to culture suspension cells.

The surface treatment process of cell culture flasks mostly adopts vacuum plasma process. Different culture surfaces meet the growth needs of different types of cells. Did you choose the right one?

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

Elevating Serum Storage: PETG Media Bottles for Blood Serum

图片
  In the dynamic world of serum storage, the choice of containers plays a pivotal role in preserving the integrity and efficacy of blood serum. Enter   PETG Media Bottles , a game-changer for blood serum manufacturers seeking a reliable and innovative solution for storage. Preserving Purity: PETG, a high-performance polymer, forms the foundation of these media bottles. Its inert nature ensures that the stored blood serum remains unaltered, preserving its purity and preventing any leaching of contaminants. This is especially critical for serum manufacturers aiming to deliver consistently high-quality products. Secure Seal for Longevity: Equipped with precision-fit caps, PETG Media Bottles create an airtight seal, shielding the blood serum from external influences. The secure seal not only maintains the longevity of the serum but also prevents the risk of contamination, ensuring that the serum's composition remains intact throughout storage. PETG Media Bottles Clarity for Quality Ass

PETG Media Bottles vs Glass Media Bottles

图片
In the field of cell culture consumables, choosing the right type of bottle for storing and handling media is crucial. Two common options are   PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) media bottles   and glass media bottles. This article aims to provide a comparative analysis of these two choices, focusing on the advantages of PETG media bottles, our core product. 1.Material Differences: PETG Media Bottles: PETG is a type of plastic known for its durability, chemical resistance, and transparency. PETG media bottles are lightweight and shatterproof, making them an excellent choice for shipping and handling. They also have excellent gas barrier properties, reducing the risk of contamination. Glass Media Bottles: Glass media bottles are known for their traditional appearance and the ability to maintain the integrity of the stored contents. However, they are fragile and prone to breakage, which can lead to safety hazards and contamination concerns. 2.Impact on Cell Culture: PETG Media Bot
