Poor Adherent Cell Attachment Troubleshooting
Cells that are cultured under suboptimal growth conditions attach poorly. When the culture surface provided is appropriate, the most common cause of failure of cells to attach to a substrate is environmental stress placed on the cells.
Folic Acid Metabolism in Cancer
This issue of Biofiles reviews some of our newest and most innovative technologies and their specific applications toward cancer research. In preparing this issue of Biofiles, one is reminded how complex the disease of cancer is, and how difficult it
The Microbiological Safety Cabinet and Its Use
Working with cell cultures generates aerosols, posing threat to scientists and co-workers. To protect against aerosols microbiological safety cabinets are used. Watch video how to use microbiological safety cabinets.
Poor Cell Growth Troubleshooting
Ensuring adequate cell growth is a critical part of collecting accurate data with cell cultures. Cells can be cultured in suspension, or as a monolayer that attaches to cultureware, such as a flask, dish or multiwell plate.
Cell Death Troubleshooting in Cell Culture
Here we discuss causes of cell death, and how to assess and prevent these causes.
