Impact of Hydrogen Peroxide Decontamination Technology Over High Heat Sterilization: Increased Efficiency and Efficacy with Significantly Reduced Downtime
14 Mar 2013Contamination of cell cultures is easily the most common problem encountered in cell culture laboratories and can lead to very serious consequences. The study presented in this white paper tested the effectiveness of H2O2 decontamination offered by the Panasonic MCO-19 AIC Sterisonic® UVH cell culture incubator compared to the industry leading brands with dry heat and moist heat sterilization techniques.

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.

When choosing an autoclave or sterilizer consider medical or laboratory application, size, loading and sterilization method. Sterilization methods include flame (Bunsen burners), heat (steam or dry), chemical and UV.IncubatorsLaboratory incubators are used to provide a stable environment to cultivate and store samples in, giving you optimal control of temperature, humidity, oxygen and CO<sub>2</sub> levels. Incubators are necessary equipment for cell culture and microbial research. Control temperature with heated or refrigerated incubators, or the levels of CO<sub>2</sub> and oxygen with CO<sub>2</sub> incubators. Using environmental chambers, create a humid climate for testing samples.
