While cell culturing, those cells with the highest growth capacity predominate, resulting in a degree of genotypic and phenotypic uniformity in the population over time. Continuous cell culture: Cells are immortalized and can be grown for many passages with no significant loss of viability.

What is Cell Culture? Cell culture is an incredibly useful in vitro tool in cell biology research. In this technique, cells are removed from an organism an...

Cell culture guidelines The following is a general guideline for culturing of cell lines. All cell culture must be undertaken in microbiological safety cabinet using aseptic technique to ensure sterility. 1. Preparing an aseptic environment 1. Hood regulations (a) Close hood sash to proper position to maintain laminar air flow (b) Avoid cluttering 2.

The most obvious consequence of cell culture contamination is the loss of your time, money (for cells, culture vessels, media and sera) and effort spent develop-ing cultures and setting up experiments. However, the less obvious consequences are often more serious (Table 1). First there are the adverse effects on cultures

Cell culture, the maintenance and growth of the cells of multicellular organisms outside the body in specially designed containers and under precise conditions of temperature, humidity, nutrition, and freedom from contamination.
