Efficient Method for Scaling-Up Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells using Falcon® Multi-Flasks

9 Aug 2015

The use of single layer T-flasks can be time consuming, cumbersome and labor intensive for cell culture applications, requiring large numbers of cells. However, ongoing research into the use of multi-layered vessels is required to ensure environmental stability between layers which may affect the yield, homogeneity and potential functional performance of cell populations. In this application note, the success of scaling-up human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) in Falcon® Multi-Flasks is accessed through cell growth and characteristics in comparison to cells grown in control T-175 flasks.

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications.
