Routine Cell Culture

  • Chapter
Tissue Culture Techniques

Abstract

Consistent schedules for feeding and subcultivation, if the latter is a necessary part of your experiments, are essential routines to adopt. Haphazard feeding routines developed because of the “I don’t have time” excuse will result in cultures that have unbalanced nutrition and wide swings in waste content. The data gathered from such cultures and the products produced by them will also have wide fluctuations, and probably will not be very reliable.
