How much do you know about the difference between a cell culture flask and a culture dish?
Cell culture is a very important experimental technique and has become an indispensable research method in biopharmaceuticals, life sciences, clinical transplantation and other fields. Cell culture must be done with the help of cell consumables to achieve the conditions required for cell growth, cell culture flasks and culture dishes are the two common categories, so what is the difference between these two consumables?
Cell culture flasks are suitable for long-term culture, passaging, and as seed cells, with a smaller mouth, and cells are not easily contaminated. Cell culture dishes are suitable for selection in various experiments and temporary culture. The difference between the two is the level of safety and the number of cultured cells. Experiments with cells as carriers or objects with culture dishes are better, because the amount used is relatively small, saving cells, and culture dishes are more convenient to do control experiments, but the culture dish opening is larger, relatively easier to contaminate, so the operation should be more careful.
Tissue block primary culture or easy to be contaminated cell culture with culture flasks, the growth of cells can be passed on after personal preference, cell culture flasks are larger, so when you need to expand a large number of cells can be used when the culture flasks.
Cell culture flasks and culture dishes are used for microbial or cell culture in the laboratory, the specific choice of consumables depends on the specific needs of the experiment, but also take into account the cell culture method, whether it is suspension culture or wall culture, the appropriate consumables are the basis of successful experiments.
