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 w...

Reasons for Cell Factory Surface Treatment

图片
  The   cell factory   plays an important role in the large-scale cultivation of cells, and has low risk of contamination. It can utilize the maximum cultivation area in a limited space, save a lot of factory space, and reduce the cost of quality control and downstream purification of the enterprise. cost advantages. This kind of culture consumables generally needs surface treatment before it can be used for cell culture. Why? According to different growth modes, cells are divided into adherent cells and suspension cells. The growth of such cells must have a support surface that can be attached, and the cells rely on the attachment factors secreted by themselves or provided in the medium to be on the surface. Growth, propagation, and suspension cells are not required. The cell factory is made of polystyrene raw material, which itself is hydrophobic, which is not conducive to the growth of cell attachment. Therefore, it needs to be modified on the surface to become hydroph...

It is accepted by more and more biopharmaceutical manufacturers and scientific research institutions. The cell factory realizes ...

Cause Analysis of Mycoplasma Contamination in Cell Factory

图片
  Mycoplasma contamination of cells is a very troublesome problem when culturing cells, especially in the use of large-scale culture vessels such as   cell factory . Once mycoplasma contamination occurs, the loss will be even greater. So, what is the cause of mycoplasma contamination? Mycoplasma is a prokaryotic organism with a size of only 0.2-0.3 um, no cell wall, and can pass through a general filter membrane (0.22-0.45 um). During cell culture, the incidence of mycoplasma infection reaches 63%, so during cell culture Contamination by mycoplasma is a worldwide problem. When cells (especially passage cells) are contaminated by mycoplasma, the expression of DNA, RNA and protein in the cells will change, but the growth rate of cells generally does not have a significant impact, so the contamination of cells by mycoplasma is generally difficult to detect. In most cases, the cytopathic changes are slight or insignificant, and subtle changes can also be alleviated by subculture a...

Application of Cell Factory in Vero Cells

How to reduce the risk of foreign contamination when using cell factories

图片
  As a large-scale culture vessel,   cell factories   play an important role in the production of products such as human vaccines, animal vaccines, and cell and gene therapy. In the small test stage of the product, a single cell factory is generally the main product, and a larger-scale cultivation area is required to enter the pilot test and batch production stage. At this time, how to quickly scale up on the basis of ensuring safe, consistent, and pollution-free operations has become a key consideration. The cell factory is designed with a multi-layer structure, and scale-up can be done by simply increasing its number. When its number increases, it means that the number of openings increases, not only the operation time will be prolonged, but the risk of contamination will also increase. At this time, we can use a simple way to connect individual factories in series to form a closed culture system. The accessories that need to be used include large-mouth gas conversion k...

How to cascade multiple cell factories

图片
In the large-scale culture of cells, in order to facilitate the operation, multiple  cell factories  are usually connected in series, which saves the operation of multiple openings and reduces the risk of contamination. So, how do we cascade multiple factories? The cell factory is a culture vessel with a multi-layer structure. Enlarging the culture scale can be achieved by increasing the number of layers. However, when the number of cells increases, we will encounter a problem - repeated repeated operations. As the number of cap openings increases, not only does the operation time increase, but so does the risk of cell contamination. At this time, the developed culture components can be combined into a closed system by connecting multiple containers in series. The operation method is as follows:                 FuDau 10 Layers Cell Factory 1. Prepare custom transfer caps, culture medium, cell factory, and connecting tubing. 2. Connect th...

Common contamination when growing cells in cell factories

图片
  When we use cell culture consumables such as   cell factories   to cultivate cells, we may find that there is a lot of cell contamination, which are: bacterial contamination, fungal contamination, mold contamination, and mycoplasma contamination. Bacterial contamination is generally caused by Bacillus and Staphylococcus. The main feature of contamination is that the medium in cell culture consumables such as cell factories turns yellow and turbid, and under low magnification, the medium is sandy and filled with intercellular spaces or culture medium, which can be seen under high magnification. Rod- or globular-shaped bacteria swim in the medium (notably different from the Brownian motion of cell debris). It should be noted that in the early stage of pollution, bacteria often exist in groups, and there may not be obvious movements. At this time, vigilance should be aroused. FuDau 10 Layers Cell Factory The common fungal contamination is Candida albicans contamination. Af...

Importance of a sterile environment for cells in a cell factory

图片
  Cell factories   are a type of consumables that are widely used in large-scale cell culture. Cells are very fragile organisms. The in vitro culture of cells requires a specific environment, of which sterility is the basic requirement. In vivo, the detoxification system and immune system can resist the invasion of microorganisms or other harmful substances, but in the process of in vitro culture, cells lack the protection of the body's immune system and lose the ability to defend against microorganisms and detoxify harmful substances. To ensure that cells can grow and reproduce in vitro, it is necessary to ensure a sterile work area, good personal hygiene, sterile reagents and media, and aseptic handling. Common microbial contaminations in cell factory culture include mycoplasma, bacteria, and fungi. Mycoplasma has no lethal toxicity, can coexist with cells for a long time, and has potential effects on cells, but it is small in size and difficult to identify. It can be detect...

The effect of osmotic pressure on cells in cell factories

图片
  When culturing cells using a   cell factory , it is susceptible to various factors. Such as temperature, PH value, gas environment, etc., of which osmotic pressure is also a very important aspect. Cells in hypertonic or hypotonic solutions can shrink or swell and rupture immediately. Therefore, osmotic pressure is one of the important conditions for culturing cells in vitro. The maintenance of osmotic pressure of mammalian and other animal tissue cells in vitro is mainly related to NaCl, but the relationship of osmotic pressure of other dielectrics cannot be ignored. The osmotic pressure is proportional to the number of molecules and ions of the solute per unit volume of solvent. For this reason, it is very important to control the ion balance in the culture medium in a certain proportion and maintain normal osmotic pressure. This is not only to maintain cell tension, but also to regulate the metabolism of cells. Because extracellular ion transport and ion concentration chan...

Factors Affecting Cell Factory Culture Technology - Cell Seeding Density

图片
  Cell factory   culture technology plays an important role in the fields of monoclonal antibody and vaccine preparation. When culturing cells, it will be affected by various factors, among which the cell inoculation density will also affect the cell culture process. When using cell factories for large-scale cell culture, the number of cell inoculations has a direct impact on the growth of cells. An appropriate inoculation density can promote better cell proliferation. Too high or too low inoculation density is not conducive to cell growth and proliferation. How to choose the appropriate inoculation concentration should be determined according to the cell metabolism, growth and reproduction speed and the needs of the work. Generally speaking, cells with strong metabolism and fast growth (such as tumor cells) should be inoculated at a lower concentration; while normal tissue cells grow slowly and their metabolism is not vigorous enough, the inoculation concentration may be high...
