Applications and safety of Cell Culture

Cell culture is the process of removing cells from an animal or plant and growing them in a controlled environment. The cells can be directly extracted from the tissue and disaggregated by enzymatic or mechanical techniques before cultivation, or they can be generated from a previously established cell line or cell strain.

Applications of Cell Culture

Cell culture is one of the most important techniques in cellular and molecular biology, as it provides good model systems for investigating cell physiology and biochemistry (e.g., metabolic research, ageing), pharmacological and toxic chemical effects on cells, as well as mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. It's also employed in drug testing and research, as well as large-scale biological chemical synthesis (e.g., vaccines, therapeutic proteins). The uniformity and reproducibility of data acquired from a batch of clonal cells is the main benefit of employing cell culture for any of these applications.

 

Cell culture safety

Working in a cell culture lab comes with a variety of risks and dangers, such as poisons and mutagenic reagents. Viruses and other biological agents may be present in the human/animal material. As a result, it is critical to observe conventional laboratory safety guidelines when altering human/animal material.

 

Before entering and leaving the laboratory, wash your hands.

Dress in protective clothing (gloves, closed shoes, lab coat).

No eating, drinking, or smoking is permitted.

There is no or very little aerosol production.

Before and after the experiment, clean all surfaces.

Work in compliance with the facility's policies and procedures.

Ensure that all waste is properly disposed of.

Access is restricted to only authorised individuals.

Stay away from sharp things.

Make sure all samples are clearly labelled.

Notify the safety officer of any incidents.
