The previous article introduced four of the common pollution types when using cell culture consumables such as   cell culture flasks   for cell culture. Next, I will introduce the remaining three pollution types and their characteristics: 5. Protozoan pollution: The culture medium may be slightly turbid, and the number of tiny dots under the microscope is very large and slightly mobile. Although the cells can grow, the reproduction speed is obviously slowed down, and the cell state is not good, the edges are not clear, and the cells are not clear. Translucent. They can symbiosis with cells but will compete with cells for nutrients. This symbiosis is very common, but their number is small, and the cell site has an advantage, so it will not affect the normal growth of cells, only when they reach a certain number It will affect the growth of cells and eventually form a vicious circle.      T75 Cell Culture Flasks 6.

Common specifications of cell culture flasks include T25cm2, T75cm2, T175cm2, T225cm2, small-sized bottles are used for smaller-scale cell culture, and larger-sized bottles can be used for slightly larger-scale cell culture experiments. Since adherent cells need to be attached to the surface of the support to grow, and the material of the bottle itself is hydrophobic, it is suitable for the growth of adherent cells after TC treatment.  FuDau T75 Cell Culture Flasks Generally, the suitable temperature for mammalian and avian cells to be cultured in vitro is 37-38°C. Unsuitable ambient temperature will affect the growth o...

  When culturing cells, we often use   cell culture flasks , whose specifications range from 75cm2 to 225cm2, to meet the needs of cell culture of different scales. Depending on how the cells are cultured, this vessel has two different surfaces: TC-treated and non-TC-treated. Cells are divided into adherent cells and suspension cells according to the different culture methods. The growth of adherent cells must have a support surface that can be attached, and cells can grow on this surface by relying on the attachment factors secreted by themselves or provided in the medium. , breeding. Suspension cells do not require an attachable support and grow in suspension in the medium, such as lymphocytes.   FuDau T75 Cell Culture Flasks The cell culture flask is made of polystyrene raw material. This material itself is hydrophobic, which is not conducive to the better adherence of cells. Therefore, it needs to be treated with TC on the surface to change its performance, so that th...

  Erlenmeyer shake flask   is a kind of cell consumable that is often used in suspension cell culture. Unlike adherent cells, suspension cells grow in suspension in culture medium. In addition to the gas environment, pH, osmotic pressure and other conditions, the speed of the shaker also affects the growth of cells. Cell culture requires a suitable growth environment and growth temperature, which requires the selection of a suitable shaker for assistance. The constant temperature shaker is a special equipment used in conjunction with the cell shaker. When culturing cells, the shaker needs to be continuously rotated to provide gas conditions for the cells, and at the same time, it can also avoid cell death caused by cell deposition.           FuDau 125ml Erlenmeyer Shake Flasks  The specifications of erlenmeyer shake flasks include 125ml, 250ml, 500ml, 1000ml, 3L, 5L, etc. The volume of medium added to the flasks of different specifications is also...

  Cell culture flasks   are a kind of cell consumables that are often used in the process of cell culture. When culturing cells, various contaminations often cause various troubles to the experiment and hinder the experimental process. So how to deal with these pollution? Cell contamination is generally caused by improper aseptic technique, incomplete sterilization of vessel reagents, and passage of hands or instruments over the open vessel mouth. Once the cells are contaminated, most of them are difficult to recover. The following are the common types and treatment methods of cell contamination: 1. Bacterial contamination: Bacteria are black and fine sand-like under an ordinary inverted microscope. Depending on the infected bacteria, they may have different shapes. The culture medium will generally become cloudy and yellow, which has a significant impact on cell growth. Most of the cells die within 24 hours. Corresponding antibiotic treatment, such as tetracycline, gentamicin...

  Subculture refers to a process in which the culture needs to be divided into small parts, re-inoculated into another culture vessel (bottle), and then cultured.   Cell culture flasks   are commonly used consumables when culturing cells. So, how to passage cells in the cell culture flasks? Generally, the cells in the cell culture flask are basically saturated after they grow into a dense monolayer. In order to enable the cells to continue to reproduce and expand the number of cells at the same time, a passaging operation is required. Suspension cells can be directly divided into flasks, while adherent cells need to be digested before they can be divided into flasks. Adherent cells are generally digested into single cells using proteolytic enzymes (such as trypsin), and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) can also be added to improve digestion. Observe the cells until the cells become round and detach from the flask wall. This process usually takes 5-15 minutes. To avo...

  There are many problems when using   cell culture flasks   to culture cells, such as cell non-adherence, cell contamination, cell death, etc. Among them, precipitation in cell culture flasks is also a common situation, which may be related to metal supplements. Metal ions such as copper, iron, and zinc are required for cell growth and are important supplements to serum-free media. The absence of other serum components in the culture system may lead to the precipitation of these metals, creating a toxic environment for the cells. At higher pH (generally >8), carbonate and hydroxide ions and copper ions, phosphate and hydroxide ions and iron ions, carbonate, phosphate and hydroxide ions and zinc ions , hydroxide ions and magnesium ions are easy to form insoluble precipitates; under oxidative conditions, copper and zinc are more likely to precipitate, which is the precipitate we see in cell culture flasks. So how do we avoid the precipitation caused by metal supplements...

  When culturing cells,   cell culture flasks   are a kind of consumable with high usage rate. When culturing cells, they will experience four different growth phases, namely stopper, logarithmic phase, stationary phase and decline phase. These four phases reflect the different growth states of cells. Arrest phase: The phase in which cells adapt to the culture conditions in the cell culture flask, during which the cells do not divide. Cells typically attach within 24 hours of starting the culture, and the total length of this phase depends on the growth phase and seeding density at which the cells were used at the beginning of the culture.    FuDau T25 Cell Culture Flasks Log phase: Cells are actively dividing during this phase and are the optimal time to assess population growth and general data collection. Late in log phase, before cell stress due to overcrowding is the best time to pass cells (subculture). Stationary phase: As cells reach 100% confluence, cel...

  In the process of culturing cells in   cell culture flasks , we encounter various conditions, and slow cell growth is one of them. So, what is the reason for this and how to fix it? There are many reasons for slow cell growth, including the following: 1. Due to the replacement of different culture medium or serum; 2. Some components necessary for cell growth in the culture medium, such as glutamine or growth factors, are depleted or lacking or have been destroyed; 3. There is a small amount of bacterial or fungal contamination in the culture; 4. Improper storage of reagents; 5. The initial concentration of inoculated cells is too low; 6. Cells have aged; 7. Mycoplasma contamination. solution: 1. Compare the composition of the new medium and the original medium, compare the new serum and the old serum to support cell growth experiments, and let the cells gradually adapt to the new medium; 2. Change into freshly prepared culture medium, or add glutamine and growth factors; 3. ...
