Cell Culture Best Practices

Brought to you by: Gibco® Cell Culture Basics, lifetechnologies.com/cellculturebasics
By default, we select for cells with a growth advantage when we passage cells. This, for example results in a bias against slower growing cells. And this results in a change in the cell population. Standard practices should be in place that will limit variability within a cell line, provide appropriate documentation and cell line verification. In this section we will learn how following cell culture best practices will improve your reproducibility and reliability when culturing cells.
