Cell culture dishes

Cell culture dishes are an essential tool used in various types of laboratories to grow, propagate and study cells. The dishes are round flat vessels, usually made of plastic, that provide the right conditions for cell growth. Let's take a closer look at cell culture dishes and why you should use them.

Cell culture dishes provide a controlled environment for cell growth and reproduction. They allow you to maintain optimal conditions of temperature, humidity and nutrient concentration. In addition, cell culture dishes are easy to use and allow observation of cell growth during experiments.

Types of cell culture dishes

There are different types of cell culture dishes, such as disposable dishes, reusable dishes, and dishes with special lids or dishes comprising several chambers. Disposable dishes are practical and eliminate the risk of cross-contamination between samples. Reusable dishes are more economical, but require careful cleaning and sterilization. Swabs with special lids can provide additional protection from contamination and moisture loss or provide additional ventilation. Multi-chambered glassware can be used to test at the same time, under the same conditions, the effect of a specific substance, e.g. for different concentrations of test bacteria

Materials used to make cell culture dishes

The most common materials used to produce cell culture dishes are polystyrene and polypropylene. Polystyrene is a popular choice because of its transparency, low price and ease of production. Polypropylene is more temperature resistant and can be used in higher temperature environment.

Choosing the right dishes

There are several criteria to consider when choosing cell culture dishes. Durability is important so that the dishes can withstand the required culture environment. Safety is also key, so it makes sense to choose sterile or aseptic culture dishes manufactured under controlled conditions. It is also important to match specific culture needs, for example, dishes of different sizes or special dishes for three-dimensional cultures.

Storage and use of cell culture dishes

Cell culture dishes should be stored in a dry and clean place to prevent contamination. Ensure that the dishes are sterile before use. When using the culture dishes, aseptic procedures should be followed and the laboratory should be kept clean to prevent unwanted substances from entering the test material.

Cell culture dishes are an indispensable tool in many laboratories . They allow controlled culture and study of cell growth under optimal conditions. Choosing the right dishes, taking into account durability, safety and culture needs, is crucial for precise and reproducible experiments. Storing and using the dishes according to aseptic principles is essential to avoid contamination. Cell culture dishes are essential for scientific research, medical experiments or the development of new therapies .
