Several different types of microbes can contaminate cell culture, including bacteria, fungi, viruses and Mycoplasma. Some of these, such as mold contamination, can be obvious, and therefore caught ...

Statistics show that contamination is much more prevalent than most researchers acknowledge. Even a single contamination incident can cost significant time and money and threaten the reputation of an ...

Ensuring cell culture sterility is essential in small and large bioprocesses. Microbial contamination from bacteria, viruses, and fungi can spread among experiments and workflows—wasting time, ...

Contamination, whether from the environment or from the crossing of cell lines, can have significant consequences for the reliability of results and the validity of scientific conclusions. It is ...

Specifically, our method supports automated cell culture sampling at designated intervals to check for contamination, which reduces manual tasks such as sample extraction, measurement, and ...

Additionally, cell-culture media and animal products used in cell culture can be a source of mycoplasma contamination. Due to their small size and flexibility, mycoplasmas can pass through the filter ...

This image highlights the various challenges in maintaining cell culture integrity, including contamination from bacteria, viruses, mycoplasmas, and chemicals. It also emphasizes the importance of ...

Contamination of cell culture media by these organisms has become a recurring problem for the biopharmaceutical industry. In the 80s, Acholeplasma laidlawii was found to be a major contaminant of ...

Addressing Cell-Line Contamination to Improve Data Reproducibility Best Practices for Validing, Storing, and Handling Cell Culture Uphold Research Integrity By Patrick Schneider, PhD ...

However, even as the core concepts of cell culture remain the same, so too does the main roadblock to successful cell culture: contamination. Unfortunately for cell culture scientists, the conditions ...

Review the different types of cell culture contamination and their effects on cells. Explore the ways in which contamination occurs and offer advice for preventing contamination occurrences, including ...
