Basic requirements for cell culture consumables - TC treatment

 Cell culture consumables are necessary items for culturing cells, and play an important role in creating a good growth environment for cells and ensuring their normal reproduction. Cells are sensitive to the environment, especially the requirements for consumables are relatively high, and one of the most important points is the surface TC treatment.

TC treatment is a treatment method, and the cell culture consumables treated with TC can promote cell adherent growth and morphological extension. At present, adherent cell culture is still the mainstream culture method in the market, and most animal cells need to be attached to a solid phase interface to grow. Cells can only attach to a hydrophilic solid phase interface. The earliest cell culture vessels were made of glass. Because the surface of the glass is hydrophilic, the surface can be suitable for cell growth without special treatment. However, most of the cell culture consumables on the market are mainly polymer materials such as PS. The surface of this type of material is hydrophobic, so it must be treated with special TC to be suitable for the growth of adherent cells.

Of course, if you are culturing suspension cells, use cell culture consumables that have not been treated with TC. TC treatment has become an important indicator for research institutions such as scientific research institutions and pharmaceutical companies to select consumables.
