A spinner. A Spinner is a type of bioreactor which features an impeller, stirrer or similar device to agitate the contents (usually a mixture of cells, medium and products like proteins that can be harvested). [1]
Rockers are commonly used for staining and de-staining gels after electrophoresis, hybridization, [1] washing, blotting, [2] Cell culture [3] and gentle mixing. Two-dimensional rockers use a platform that moves in a seesaw motion to create waves in liquid laboratory samples.
The Rotary Cell Culture System (RCCS) is a device designed to grow three-dimensional cell clusters in microgravity. In the early 1990s, NASA researchers began developing hardware that would let them study the cell tissues of mammals—including humans—in microgravity. They also needed it to protect the fragile cultures from the turbulence of ...
Preparation of microbiological samples in a laminar chamber. A laminar flow cabinet or tissue culture hood is a partially enclosed bench work surface designed to prevent contamination of biological samples, semiconductor wafer, or any particle-sensitive materials.
Cell culture is a fundamental component of tissue culture and tissue engineering, as it establishes the basics of growing and maintaining cells in vitro. The major application of human cell culture is in stem cell industry, where mesenchymal stem cells can be cultured and cryopreserved for future use. Tissue engineering potentially offers ...
A cell line can be defined as a permanently established cell culture which will propagate forever. Investigators mostly get cell lines from other investigators or from cell banks (such as the American Type Culture Collection) , because its much easier than creating new one. In special cases, investigators are obligated to establish a cell line.
[8] [9] The item is also generically called cell culture bottle [4] or tissue culture (TC) bottle, [8] and flask may be used instead of "bottle". [3] Pile of Roux bottles with culture medium. A Roux bottle provides a large surface for the cells or microorganisms to grow, whether on the top of, [10] floating in, [11] or at the bottom of the ...
An inoculation loop (also called a smear loop, inoculation wand or microstreaker) is a simple tool used mainly by microbiologists to pick up and transfer a small sample of microorganisms called inoculum from a microbial culture, e.g. for streaking on a culture plate. [1] [2] This process is called inoculation.
