Expert insights

All cell culture laboratories have experienced it: cell culture contamination and its inevitable loss of material. Contaminants may be biological or chemical, visible or invisible, destructive or seemingly benign, but in all cases, they adversely affect both the use of your cell cultures and the quality of your research.

Identification and, even better, prevention of contamination are crucial for ensuring high-quality research. This expert webinar will present an overview on how to prevent, recognize and tackle contamination by introducing good lab practices and targeted interventions.

If you work with cell culture daily or are interested in setting up prevention strategies to minimize contamination, then join SelectScience and Franziska Wienholz, scientific support specialist of Corning Life Sciences, for this educational masterclass. Franziska will share a 10-point plan to prevent contamination and provide a comprehensive refresher on all aspects of cell culture.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Cell Lines Stem Cells and Primary CellsPrimary cell cultures, established cell lines and stem cells are vital for <i>in vitro</i> and <i>ex vivo</i> experimentation. High-quality cells, optimized for your applications, alongside optimized cell substrates, growth medium and supplements, are critical for experimental success. Explore a range of cells suitable for your applications, including isogenic cell lines, competent cells, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell lines, fungal/bacterial/mammalian cell lines, stem cells and cancer cell lines. Find the best cells for your research in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms.
