In this webinar, ATCC expert Steve Budd covers these key takeaways:
There are many cell models; choosing the correct one for your workflow will add efficiency and productivity to your work.
When culturing specialty cells, such as stem cells or primary cells, certain considerations regarding the choice of media and reagents must be taken.
Using misidentified or cross-contaminated cell lines in experiments can invalidate experimental results; therefore, authenticating cell lines should be part of your cell culture workflow.
Mycoplasma infection can chronically affect the well-being of cells in culture without being detected by visual observation; multiple screening methods can be used to identify contamination.
Tools such as proliferation assays and cryo-containers can aid the maintenance of cell health.
