Solving Cell Culture Problems
Thursday, January 22, 2009, 9:00 AM Eastern Time (ET)
This seminar will review some of the common and not so common cell culture problems that are often very difficult to identify and eliminate. If not dealt with effectively, these problems can result in culture loss and erroneous data, disrupt your research and lead to personal embarrassment. Approaches for managing these problems will be discussed. Special attention will be given to problems with:
- Culture media
- Cell attachment
- Incubators
