Liquid Handling for Cell Culture

Liquid Handling for Cell Culture from Rainin reviews the elements critical to successful cell culture with real-world insights for optimal liquid handling and tool selection.

The guide offers advice from Ph.D. cell biologists on how you can:

• Significantly improve your cell culture workflow speed and efficiency
• Reduce your chances of culture contamination and error
• Improve your precision and reproducibility – and repeat fewer experiments
• Easily scale up cell culture workflows

Liquid Handling for Cell Culture offers an overview of cell culture and its importance in scientific research (e.g., studying diseases, developing new therapeutics, and producing biologics such as vaccines and monoclonal antibodies). It explains the different types of cells that can be cultured, the advantages and disadvantages of each type, and the specific research areas and applications for which each type is most appropriate.

The authors provide detailed tips for success with each step of the common cell culture workflow, from preparing an aseptic environment to plating, feeding, and preparing cells for endpoint assays. They also offer advice on tasks that can affect the outcome of cell culture, such as pipetting, dilution, and dispensing.

You will discover common aspects of cell culture that pose challenges to researchers, along with practical lab tips for how to overcome these challenges and guidance on the liquid handling tools available to help.
