Culture Techniques

Sterile Culture Techniques - Successful control of contamination depends largely upon the operator’s techniques in aseptic culture. You should always be aware of potential sources of contamination such as dust, hair, hands, and clothes. Obviously, your hands should be washed, sleeves rolled up, long hair tied back, etc. Washing your hands with 95% ethyl alcohol is an easy precautionary measure that can be taken. Talking or sneezing while culture material is exposed also can lead to contamination.

 

General Techniques of Cell Culture - Cell culture techniques are invaluable to the modern researcher but difficult to carry out successfully. As part of the series of Handbooks in Practical Animal Cell Biology, this volume offers a concise practical guide to the basic essentials of the technique. Researchers new to cell culture will find a clear explanation of the essential equipment of a tissue culture facility, including tissue culture media and sera. It describes methods for growing suspension and adhesion cultures, including how to store cells and prepare primary cultures from cells.

 

Organ Culture Techniques - The necessity of the correction of age-related skin resources reduction triggers search for most physiological means and methods to regulate reparative processes in the skin. It is known that regulation of cellular proliferation processes in tissues of the organism takes place under the effect of different peptides. We have carried out a screening study of the effect of different peptides on skin cells in organotypical skin culture. This study revealed the most effective substances to correct age-related changes in the skin.
