Internal influencing factors when cultivating cells in cell factories

图片
  When we use   cell factories   to culture cells, the growth status of the cells is affected by various factors. These factors may seem inconspicuous, but if not paid attention to, they will cause heavy damage to the cells. So, how do small details when using cell factories affect cell growth, and how can we avoid pitfalls when using cell factories to culture cells? 1. Degree of contact between cells Normal cells (diploids) have attachment contact inhibition, and cell growth stops after overgrowth. However, abnormal cells such as tumor cells have weak contact inhibition and can grow to higher cell densities, but some cells overgrow. The damage is difficult to reverse, so it is not recommended to have too high a cell density when culturing cells. Important points: Generally, cells cultured in a cell factory can be passaged when the cell confluence reaches 70-80%. Do not overgrow the cells. Cell Factory Systems 2. Cell growth attachments Adherent cells will adhere to the wall under norm

  When we use cell culture consumables such as   cell factories   to culture cells, we need to perform routine inspections on the cells. Observe the cell morphology and growth, as well as the pH changes of the culture, the presence of pollution, etc. According to the dynamic changes of the cells, change the medium or pass the cells. If any abnormalities are found, timely measures should be taken. Generally, observations will be made from the following four aspects: 1.Cell morphology Cells in good growth status can be seen under a general microscope. The cells are highly transparent, refractive, and have unclear outlines. When cells grow poorly, their outlines are enhanced, vacuoles, lipid droplets, and other granular objects often appear in the cytoplasm. The gaps between cells increase, and the cell shape can become irregular or even lose its original characteristics. Such as epithelial cells becoming epithelial-like cells, etc. 2. Cell growth After the primary culture or passaged cel
